European political refugees in the UK from 1800
November 15 | 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
How bitter the savour is of other’s bread?
Join us for a day of discovery and insight into the rich and surprising stories of European exiles in Britain. The international academics, scholars, and curators will explore how European diaspora communities have woven themselves into the fabric of British society, fostering intercultural exchange and contributing to the shaping of modern Britain.
Organised by the European collections section of the British Library in partnership with European Union National Institutes of Culture (EUNIC) London.
The conference will be accompanied by the exhibition ‘MUSIC, MIGRATION & MOBILITY. The Story of Émigré Musicians from Nazi Europe in Britain’ and by events run by the conference partners. Please watch this space for more details.
