Assistant curator Philip Grover discusses the background to the Pitt Rivers Museum’s current Long Gallery exhibition ‘Surviving Tsunami: Photographs in the Aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake’. His talk will examine the role of photography after the 2011 disaster, as well as look in detail at the work of the Rikuzentakata Disaster Document Digitalization Project, a volunteer-led initiative to salvage and conserve historic material from three institutions destroyed in the tsunami. A group of volunteers continues to work on the RD3 Project, drying, cleaning, digitising and documenting over 65,000 photographs, many of which record life in the Tohoku region over the last century.
As part of our ESRC funded seminar looking at connections between art and human rights, we will be hosting a talk by award winning photographer Edmund Clark entitled “if the light goes out” which will engage his work done in Guantanamo and inspired by his experiences of his time there, as well as his visits to some of the detainees’ homes and conversations with their families.

Shocking, haunting and unsettling, Peter’s book @earth makes a powerful statement about the current eco-crisis, the arms race and the injustices dominating today’s world. Peter will discuss the content of this, his most recent book, which brings together over 40 years of images, from the Vietnam war in 1968 to the present day. @earth is as revolutionary in form as it is in content, telling a story through the universal language of photomontage – the long-favoured medium of radical artists.
Throughout his career, Peter has consistently challenged power structures and injustices, from his anti-nuclear works of the 1980s to the powerful images he created in response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This lecture is being hosted at Oxford Brookes as part of Photography Oxford Festival ’14 – the first major new festival of its type in the UK for many years.

Egyptomania: The Allure of Ancient Egypt
With Henrietta McCall, Department of the Middle East, British Museum
2pm Saturday, 11 October 2014 at Ashmolean Museum | Venue Information
Henrietta McCall talks about the enduring appeal of ancient Egypt in western culture. She assesses how it began with Napoleon in the early 19th century; how symbols and imagery from antiquity inspired architecture, gardens, furniture and fashion; and how in the 1920s that appeal reached its climax with the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.

‘Tutankhamun and Co. Ltd’: Arthur Weigall and the Discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb
With Julie Hankey, author of ‘A Passion for Egypt: Arthur Weigall, Tutankhamun and the Curse of the Pharaohs’
Ashmolean Lecture Theatre
Tue 14 Oct, 2.30‒3.30pm
From 1905 to 1912, Arthur Weigall was Howard Carter’s successor as Chief Inspector of Antiquities for Upper Egypt. He used his position to conduct a campaign against government practice of allowing amateur collectors to excavate for private profit. With Tutankhamun’s discovery, Weigall came into open conflict with Carter’s patron, Lord Carnarvon, over his exclusive contract with The Times, and ‒ at a time of political unrest in Egypt ‒ over his assumption of rights to the contents of the tomb.

“Everywhere the Glint of Gold”: Colourising Tutankhamun’s Tomb
With Liam McNamara, Ashmolean Keeper for Ancient Egypt and Sudan and co-curator of ‘Discovering Tutankhamun’ exhibition
Ashmolean Lecture Theatre
Sat 18 Oct, 2‒3pm
Howard Carter’s evocative description of the ‘wonderful things’ he saw upon entering Tutankhamun’s tomb continues to capture the public’s imagination. The excavation of the tomb and its contents were documented in black and white photographs taken by Harry Burton. This talk explores the various methods by which the excavators – and their successors – sought to ‘colourise’ the contents of the king’s tomb, from 20th-century gouache paintings on ivory, to the latest in 21st-century digital imaging techniques.

Unwrapping Tutankhamun
With Dr Christina Riggs, Senior Lecturer, School of Art History and World Art Studies, University of East Anglia
Ashmolean Lecture Theatre
Tue 28 Oct, 2.30‒3.30pm
After three years of work in the tomb, Howard Carter and his team were ready to reveal the body of Tutankhamun. Using photographs and diaries from the excavation, this illustrated lecture follows Carter’s work in stages as they worked through the layers of wrappings around Tutankhamun’s body, and considers what else we can learn from the unwrapping of other materials in the tomb.

Fit for a Pharaoh: The Authorised Facsimile of Tutankhamun’s Tomb
With Adam Lowe, Director and Founder of Factum Arte
Gallery 21, Ashmolean Museum
Wed 29 Oct, from 6.30pm
The ticket price includes: a talk by Adam Lowe of Factum Arte; a tour of the Discovering Tutankhamun exhibition; and a drink at a special wine reception in the Ashmolean’s vaulted café.
Before Egypt’s recent political revolution, the tomb of Tutankhamun was viewed by up to 1,000 visitors per day. This had a dramatic effect on the tomb, which resulted in a deterioration of the structure of the walls. Using digital technology to record the tomb’s interior in unparalleled detail, Factum Arte produced a full-scale facsimile that can be visited at Luxor, thus relieving pressure on the actual tomb. Adam Lowe explains the process behind the production of the facsimile and explores current debates about the creation of replicas to preserve the world’s cultural heritage for future generations.

Dress up to party like it’s 1922 and discover the decade’s fascination with Ancient Egypt at an evening of Jazz Age performances, workshops and talks.
