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
This event will focus on the rescue of 170-175 High Street, Sunderland by the Tyne and Wear Building Preservation Trust as part of the Sunderland Heritage Action Zone. The project involved building a complex funding package linked to a series of culture and community end users, and in particular PopRecs, a music organisation, venue and community hub. The project was an important stimulus and catalyst for a historic but rundown area of Sunderland. It was also a “Collaborative Heritage Lab” in the EU Horizon 2020 project OpenHeritage, which sought to identify and test best practice of adaptive heritage reuse across Europe. Martin and John will reflect upon both the High Street West project and its place within OpenHeritage.
