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
Oriel will be holding an exhibition on Cecil Rhodes, ‘The Rhodes Legacy Through the Eyes of Zimbabwean Sculptors’.
Opening Friday 3 October 2025, the exhibition will feature four original stone sculptures by Zimbabwean artists. The exhibition discusses the colonial campaign led by Rhodes in Zimbabwe, charts the history of the Rhodes Must Fall campaign in Oxford and shines a light on the tradition of Zimbabwean stone sculpture.
The exhibition is open daily and free of charge at Oriel College from 10am until 2pm until Wednesday 8 October 2025. Entrance is through the High Street gates and not the Porter’s Lodge. There will be security personnel present and random bag checks may be performed on entry, we ask for your patience during any checks.
The exhibition will then move to St Mary’s, University Church, and be open to the public from Saturday 11 October to Sunday 7 December 2025.
