OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Elena Gallina is a 2019 Rhodes Scholar and the Rhodes Trust’s very first Artist in Residence.
For this residency Elena Gallina has focussed on the Kosovar practice of collecting and trading paper napkins. This goes as far back as the 60’s and is a dying tradition. The divided city of Mitrovica is the focal point of the exhibition. The artist also travelled to Peja, Prishtina and Prizren, interviewing women from 17 to 89 years old.
Çiknia jonë explores changes before and after war, alongside intergenerational circles of girlhood based in the divided city of Mitrovica. It is a celebration through photography and textiles of the colour and joy of women, and the significance of feminine love in difficult circumstances.
Register for a free ticket to join us at the launch event in Rhodes House, Oxford.
