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
Event: Documentary Screening | Amu Darya: River to a Missing Sea
Date: 28 October 2024
Time: 19:00
Location: Wolfson College Auditorium
Join us for a special screening of Amu Darya: River to a Missing Sea, a powerful documentary that explores the environmental and human stories of the shrinking Amu Darya river. Once flowing into the Aral Sea, this Central Asian river has rapidly desiccated following the intensified irrigation policies of the USSR – turning the downstream Aral Sea from the world’s fourth largest lake into the world’s youngest desert. Through personal stories from Uzbek and Karakalpak communities, this film shares the oral histories of this ancient ecosystem, and the tales of loss, adaptation, and hope that continue to evolve alongside the river to a missing sea.
