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
Professor Luca Zan is one of the world’s leading experts on the management of cultural heritage. In this talk, he will introduce his recent book, a collection of edited essays about the Arsenale of Venice—one of the most important and least well-managed heritage sites in the world. Despite occupying a huge proportion of the area of Venice, with a history of 1,000 years and fascinating architectural, scientific, and historical significance, much of the site remains neglected or closed.
The book explores different aspects of the debate about what to do with the Arsenale from the perspective of various stakeholders: heritage professionals, museum curators, academics, and political decision-makers, etc. It offers observations, evidence and comparative examples, in a wide-ranging discussion about the past, present and future of this important heritage site.
With Prof Heather Viles and OUHN staff.
Feel free to extend the invitation to any colleagues who may wish to attend.
