Photo Oxford meetup: Saturday 15 April. Suggested meeting time: 11.30 in the Weston Library cafe (Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3BG). The What They Saw reading room, which I curated with Philippa, is open 12-4pm. It, and the other exhibitions (see below), are free. The rare books room is also free but you need to book a "Show and Tell" slot here: https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/apr23/what-they-saw-womens-photobook-reading-room I won't be there - I'm having surgery on the Friday. Leave a comment below if you are planning to go, so you can meet each other on the day. If you plan to stay for a drink/dinner please say so in the comments and then could somebody coordinate a reservation on the day once you know how many are staying? In addition to the What They Saw reading room, you can see the following exhibitions in the Weston Library on the Saturday: Photography in Britain 1800-1850 https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/a-new-power Bright Sparks: The Henry Fox Talbot archive and its influence on contemporary photography https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/brightsparks Natural Magic: new experiments in darkroom chemistry https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/naturalmagic There are lots of other photo events on as part of Photo Oxford.
