About this event

Penzance LitFest presents Eithne Nightingale

Almost half the displaced people in the world today are under 18 yet their voices are rarely heard. Eithne Nightingale is an award-winning writer, photographer and filmmaker. Her work as the V&A’s Head of Equality and Diversity inspired her research into child migration, Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain: Oral Histories 1930s to the Present Day. Described as “A powerful antidote to anti-migrant rhetoric”, watch film clips, listen to the stories and follow the journeys of children: from those who fled Hitler’s Europe in the 1930s to those displaced by Putin’s ‘special operation’ in Ukraine in 2022 and those who travelled from Mogadishu to Mile End and from Syria to a Scottish island.
