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.

Disappearance of Worlds Exhibition: Chantal Meza in conversation with Will Gompertz
Join Chantal Meza and renowned art critic and journalist Will Gompertz as they discuss the meaning behind her latest exhibition and the possibilities for art when facing atrocity and the disappearance of worlds. The launch will be officially opened by the Master of Pembroke College, The Rt Hon Sir Ernest Ryder.
The Disappearance of Worlds exhibition will showcase the work of Mexican painter Chantal Meza, whose work for the past decade has confronted the violence, terror, and the complexities of disappearance in both a human and ecological context. Complementing the exhibition will be a series of public talks from world-leading authorities exploring the multiple ways disappearance occurs and the possibilities for response.
The programme is led by the Pembroke College JCR Art Collection; Pembroke College, University of Oxford; The FOUND Project; the Centre for the Study of Violence at the University of Bath; and the Oxford Festival of the Arts, in partnership with other supporting global partners and institutions.
