The College of Sanctuary Lecture
Acclaimed historian, mythographer, art critic and novelist Marina Warner reflects on the idea of home, and how we can imagine sanctuary today.
Professor Dame Marina Warner was educated in Egypt, Belgium and Britain, and is an acclaimed historian, mythographer, art critic, novelist and short story writer. She is known for her many non-fiction books relating to feminism and myth, has been a professor on the faculties of many universities, and has written for many publications, including The London Review of Books, the New Statesman, Sunday Times, and Vogue.
In 2015, having received the prestigious Holberg Prize, Warner decided to use the award to start the Stories in Transit project, a series of workshops bringing international artists, writers and other creatives together with young migrants living in Palermo, Sicily.
