Oxford Photography Seminar - Trinity Term Events

[Mirjam Brusius]

We are very pleased to announce the schedule of Trinity Term events for the Oxford Photography Seminar, co-sponsored by the History of Art Department's Centre for Visual Studies and the Bodleian Libraries. The aim of the seminar is to bring together scholars, curators and students to explore photography from a wide variety of historical, material and theoretical perspectives. It also seeks to introduce researchers to Oxford's rich photographic resources. The coming term will thus include both work-in-progress research papers and a site visit to the Pitt Rivers Museum's outstanding photographic collection--please see the attached poster for details. (To sign up for the site visit, which has a  limited number of places available, please go to our Eventbrite website.)

Seminar attendees are also warmly invited to a lecture by Ken Jacobson marking the appearance of a book by Ken and Jenny Jacobson entitled Carrying Off the Palaces: John Ruskin’s Lost Daguerreotypes, published by Bernard Quaritch. The talk will take place at 5:15 pm on June 3 in the Weston Library's Lecture Theatre and will be followed by a reception. (Places are limited and must be booked in advance by completing a booking form.)

We look forward to seeing you at the Photography Seminar and book launch!

Best wishes,
