How does our understanding of the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’ shift in a war-torn and warming world? Today’s event features a powerful conversation with three authors writing urgently about displacement and connection: Hoda Barakat (Sheikh Zayed Book Award-winning author of Hind, or the Most Beautiful Woman in the World and Voices of the Lost), Alycia Pirmohamed (poet and winner of the Nan Shepherd Prize with non-fiction debut, Shorelines), and Ece Temelkuran (essayist and Women’s Prize for Nonfiction-shortlisted author of Nation of Strangers). Chaired by Mohamed Tonsy.
