OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Realism, Surplus, Mourning
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.
