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.
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.
