Being Human Festival: Stories that Move

The Migration Museum  is shining a light on the many ways that the movement of people to and from Britain across the ages has shaped who we are –as individuals, as communities, and as a nation. We are doing this through the creation of an inspiring national Migration Museum, a far-reaching nationwide education programme,  and a knowledge-sharing network of museums and galleries across the UK.  W﻿e are opening at a permanent site in the heart of the City of London in 2028.

Migration Museum UK

In this workshop, join leading researchers and artists working on the nineteenth-century histories of migration in the context of empire.

Migration Museum, Lewisham Shopping Centre

Does migration have a history? What stories remain from the archives about people who move countries and resettle elsewhere? Migration, in its many forms, transformed nineteenth-century life around the world. In this workshop, join leading researchers and artists working on the nineteenth-century histories of migration in the context of empire. Get introduced to the real-life stories of people who moved – or who were forced to move – in the nineteenth-century through their letters, diaries and published accounts of migration. There will be an opportunity to engage creatively with this material, and to share your own migration stories in a hands-on participatory workshop. The workshop will be accompanied by a guided tour of the Museum’s current exhibition, Departures. Bring history to life in this workshop and learn something new.This event is part of the Being Human festival, the UK’s only national festival of the humanities, taking place 11–20 November 2021.
