    Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles’, Oxford OX1 3LU

    UPDATE: WORKSHOP WEBCAST

    Live webcast links are now available on our website (www.carc.ox.ac.uk) for this event on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th September at The Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles’ (OX1 3LU).  These will be live shortly before each session starts.  Places to attend in person are still available and are free but please book by emailing: carc@classics.ox.ac.uk

    Edited podcasts will be available at a later date also via our website.

    Please be aware that our website will be temporarily unavailable for ten minutes early on the morning of the 26th whilst our IT services are doing an update.  All should be back to normal for the start of the workshop.

    The programme for our 2019 CARC workshop, kindly supported by Jean-David Cahn and Tony Michaels, is available on our website.  Textile Art in the Graeco-Roman World will focus on the visual imagery of ancient textiles from Archaic Greece to late antiquity, asking questions about a fundamentally important art tradition which we glimpse through extraordinary chance survivals and representations in other media. Subjects will have a wide chronological and geographical range, but will revolve around a shared set of art-historical and archaeological questions.

    Ancient Britain and Classical Art, 27th-28th September 2018 – draft programme for CARC workshop now out!

    The provisional programme is now available and we are taking free bookings for the 2018 CARC workshop, ‘Ancient Britain and Classical Art’, to be held in the Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles’, Oxford OX1 3LU on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th September.

    Generously supported by Jean-David Cahn and Tony Michaels, this workshop examines the complex relationship between the visual cultures of ancient Britain and the Graeco-Roman traditions of the Continent and the Mediterranean over a period of almost a thousand years. Considering not only the period of Roman Britain but also the art of the pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Anglo-Saxon period, the workshop aims to stimulate dialogue across disciplinary boundaries.

    The full draft programme and abstract are available to download on http://www.carc.ox.ac.uk/events/default.htm
