About this event
Meet the finalists for the £15,000 Footnotes x Counterpoints Fiction Prize for writers from refugee and migrant backgrounds who shine a light on today’s most pertinent topics. The writers reflect on themes of displacement, belonging, courage and creativity both in the selected works and more broadly, touching on highly relevant themes that shape our lives and society. This event brings together the shortlisted authors ahead of the announcement of the winner in June, who will be selected by a judging panel composed of prominent writers. Presented in association with Counterpoints Arts and Footnote. Booking via Southbank Centre Shortlist to be announced in early May.
