About this talk

Signs and symbols have been used throughout human history to record deeds, to project identity, and to convey messages over time and place. Their specific forms and meanings depend, however, on the society and culture in which they operate. Oxford Festival of the Arts is delighted to join Kellogg College and Oxford Lifelong Learning in presenting this interdisciplinary conference offering fresh perspectives on the signs and symbols used by medieval and Renaissance people. It is inspired by the work of the late Dr Cathy Oakes, FSA, and Kellogg Fellow and art historian.
