Swansea seminar on migration

Speaking at a seminar on migration, hosted by Heaven Crawley, professor of Migration at the University. I met Heaven six years ago in St James's Church, Piccadilly, when she spoke at a debate we held during Refugee Week around Pero Mandic's paintings, Crimson Harvest

Installing the exhibition and long drive to Swansea

An early start at Penair School, Truro, where we install the exhibition. A new arrival is a very powerful Relic Box by Patrick Coleman. It's a 3D scrapbook in his late father's toolbox, a scrapbook of mementos and ephemera from his life. It is very powerful and at the same time very delicate - protected here by a perspex box created by Alex White, University College Falmouth.




























Tanya Davies and Carmel Henry - the Citizenship team at Penair who have really thrown themselves behind the project. 

 And finally, a long drive north and west  - to Swansea, where am speaking at a seminar on migration tomorrow.
