OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Rhodes Legacy Through the Eyes of Zimbabwean Sculptors
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.
