How can you sing when your tongue is not your own? How do you tell a story no one can understand? In this special event, presented by Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, international poets Linton Kwesi Johnson, Yang Lian and Mahdad Majdian will read from their work and share their stories of migration, longing and a new life.
Curated by Siofra McSherry and supported by the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues and the George Padmore Institute.
