library of exile: writing experiences of migration and exile

A timely discussion exploring how literature can represent the experience of migration and exile, as part of Edmund de Waal’s library of exile installation at the British Museum.

Chaired by contemporary artist and writer Edmund de Waal, it features Booker-shortlisted novelist and human rights activist Elif Shafak, EBRD Prize-winning writer and journalist Hamid Ismailov, and world-renowned journalist, broadcaster and writer Kavita Puri.

This is one of four thought-provoking events exploring the themes inspired by the library of exile, presented in collaboration with Edmund de Waal, English PEN, and the British Museum.
