If you were to recreate an Egyptian painting or an illuminated manuscript, what colors would you choose?
Here are our insights on the 19th-century replicas we've been looking into. Have a look: it is more nuanced than you might think!

🖼️We are delighted to welcome Tea Ghigo as our new lecturer in History of Art, Materials and Technology!
Fact: although Tea was born in Italy, an ethnicity test showed she's actually more French than Italian!

Linacre Seminars are on again! What a pleasure to chair such interdisciplinary panel of speakers!
The first #SeminarSeries of the Hilary Term took place last night. Members unravelled the links between genes & brain structure, explored optimal transport across fields & time and aimed to understand Klebsiella pneumoniae clonality, virulence & antimicrobial resistance @TeaGhigo
My social media presence on Twitter is almost non-existent. Luckily, ever since I joined the @LinacreCollege JRF community, I often get captured in pictures while attending inspiring events with my fellows Fellows! Here is one from a last night!
Quick perspective on how long Ancient Egyptian history was: Cleopatra lived closer to the iPhone than to the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Thousands of sea snails had to be sacrificed to dye the garments of the aristocrats. That’s why this pigment was (and is) so expensive. Animalists would be mad at Phoenicians!

Nothing better than reaching the end of an intense year with an intensive training school with a high-profile program of lectures!
I had a blast as a panelist of this colourful event! If you are a curious mind, have a look at how we address the question “Do we all see colour the same” from 3 very different angles!
The world is complex. Multidisciplinarity is a must.
Loved hosting this livestream with @OxfordUNIQ as part of #UNIQ2021 - 'do we see colour the same?'
Learn how the hexadecimal system works, how our perception of colours has changed throughout history, and some fantastic facts about animals - enjoy :)

I am an academic. I read, research, analyse, think and write. I love material culture and investigating our past to understand more about our present.
But above all, I love being an inspiration for other people, giving them that push they might be looking for.
Feeling fulfilled.
I love culture. The culture preserved in museums, and the culture you can breathe in the street surrounded by your community, like Swing. Happier times in this pic, when I could dance with, touch and hug other people without restrictions. Hopefully, soon again.
