SUMMARY:A Balikbayan Box for Nursing: the Art of Migration
DESCRIPTION:Panel event hosted by Michael Rosen with RCN writers in residence Romalyn Ante, Jennifer Wong and Christie Watson and artist Haleema Aziz\n\n\nThis event, hosted by poet Michael Rosen, is the culmination of the Arts Council England National Lottery funded project, ‘A Balikbayan Box for Nursing’. The title refers to the Filipino custom of migrant workers sending boxes of items back home and is inspired by Romalyn Ante’s poem ‘Notes Inside a Balikbayan Box’.
