Marina Warner: A Place of Sanctuary

What is 'sanctuary'? Is it a sacred place where travellers and refugees might find safety and solace? Or is it a homeland to be shuttered and defended against incomers from the outside world? Exploring the concept throughout history and myth in her new book Sanctuary, prolific critic, cultural historian, and Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist Marina Warner joins us today to ask profound and urgent questions about the right to safety, home, freedom of movement, and peace. Chaired by Esa Aldegheri.
