Migration, Creativity and Cultural Identity

My Country, A Journey is a multi-strand research project that explores the relationship between migration, creativity and cultural identity in British and Irish society, both historically and in the present.

It aims to engage those whose lives have been affected by migration, particularly those whose sense of identity and belonging has been expanded, revised or reconfigured as a result.
