Reading and panel with Michael Rosen and RCN writers in residence Romalyn Ante, Jennifer Wong and Christie Watson and artist Haleema Aziz
Join us in person or online for this event, hosted by poet Michael Rosen. It 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'. The project took the Balikbayan Box as its central theme, exploring the spirit of nursing as experienced by a range of migrant workers across the UK.
During our exhibition, 'Moved to Care', the RCN Library and Museum hosted one visual artist (Haleema Aziz) and three writers in residence (Romalyn Ante, Jennifer Wong and Christie Watson). This event brings all the artists together to read some of the new work created during the exhibition and explore with Michael Rosen the inspiration they have taken from the themes, and the experiences of migrant nurses.
