Journeys. These can be physical journeys from one place to another, emotional journeys, or the journeys of life like leaving home, parenthood, friendships, and more.

All levels of experience are welcome.
Bask in an evening celebrating the publication of Needle Around her Neck - a collection of poems penned by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi that takes its cues from the multiplicity of experiences shared during the Traces: Stories of Migration project, weaving more recent migrant stories into the history of the East End rag trade. Expect poetry readings from the collection, a late-night viewing of the exhibition, and a chance to get your copy signed by Nathalie herself.
