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
An artist and writer born in Beirut, Basyma Saad will speak on themes of her work – realism, surplus, and mourning. With dark humor and an emphasis on forms of struggle, her practice places scenes of intersubjective exchange within their world-historical frames.
Basyma’s work has been presented and screened at MoMA, The Poetry Project, CPH:DOX, Triangle-Asterides (Marseille), Busan Biennale, Swiss Institute (Rome), Ludwig Forum (Aachen), Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich), and Transmediale. Her most recent film, Congress of Idling Persons, received Special Mention in the New:Vision Award category at CPH:DOX 2022.
She is currently working on a new film titled Permanent Trespass, based on a theater script of the same name, with Sanja Grozdanić.
