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.

Manhua Li (Royal Holloway College, University of London)
Discussants: Nicholas Bunnin (China Centre, University of Oxford), Frances Wood (Chinese Collections, British Library), and Michelle Castelletti (Oxford Festival of the Arts)
Host: Zoe Y. Zhong (University of Oxford)
Join Dr Manhua Li as she uncovers the hidden stories of over a hundred ceramic objects quietly “sleeping” in the Ashmolean Museum’s collections. These non-displayed treasures hold secret narratives of women’s imagery, waiting to be brought to light. Drawing on French feminist philosophy, the yinyang icons, and Ming-dynasty ceramics, Dr Li shows how material culture can spark fresh and imaginative ways of thinking about gendered symbols, creative practices, and intercultural history of ideas.
