TALK:
Babylon, Albion
In conversation with Shahed Ezaydi, Dalia Al-Dujaili discusses her book Babylon, Albion and considers what it means to belong in your land. She traces the rich heritage of the earth beneath our feet and the wildlife that call it home. A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, Babylon, Albion is a compelling re-imagining of what it means to be native.
Sunday 14 September 2–3pm
San Mei Gallery, 39a Loughborough Road SW9 7TB
