OxTalks is Changing
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
Book launch: Art Under the Indian Sun with Ratna Vira (Artist and Author)
ART UNDER THE INDIAN SUN is a visual and historical journey of the British East India Company and the Raj Period. Authors Ratna and Shauryya Vira have meticulously researched the period’s history, art, and cultural influences, uncovering exquisite artworks and documents from private collections, some of which have never been publicly seen. This book offers a captivating exploration of the British East India Company’s journey from a trading enterprise to a global empire. Beyond its political and economic dominance, the Company played a pivotal role in shaping perceptions of both Britain and India. The British left one of the largest visual memoirs of the time, and in reconstructing this, a story emerges of a time that today would be lost.
