In a fast moving world, we look back at the canon in literature - Shakespeare, Dante, Chaucer - and explore their relevance for current discussions on migration, movement and asylum. A dynamic event bringing together artists, writers, academics and people with lived experience of (forced) migration.

Join us to celebrate the end of London Migration Film Festival 2024, and get to know each other’s work and perspectives on the century’s old, but never more present, theme of migration.

Featuring Majid Adin, Dr Jennifer Allsopp, and The Other Side of Hope literary magazine.

Please note these are paid for events as part of London Migration Film Festival 2024.

This event forms part of Lost and Found: Stories of sanctuary and belonging.

Lost & Found foregrounds stories of sanctuary - exploring themes of refuge, resilience, and the search for safety in a world facing significant social, political, and environmental challenges.

This eclectic programme of art, film, ideas and discussions reflects King’s status as a University of Sanctuary. It has been inspired and informed by King’s life-changing research and co-created with artists and communities from across London and beyond.
