Conversations with authors, orchestra and children’s activities are some of the best events happening today, Saturday 28.
Global Conversations: Things We Carry
In conversation for the first time, artist Fowzia Karimi and poet Amina Jama bring light to the value of the small things people carry, snippets of language, fading memories, and objects that continue to sustain migrants even as they leave everything else they know behind.
Saturday at 5.30pm, this is an online event
Tickets cost £5
