OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
