It brings together researchers from across Birkbeck, including Dr Jackie Lou, Dr Mara Nogueira, Dr Olivia Sheringham and Prof Sophia Price, to discuss migration, mobility, urban life and everyday globalisation. The exhibition behind it portrays Chinese migrant traders running family-owned shops in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and was developed through collaborative workshops with first- and second-generation migrants, emerging from Mara Nogueira's project Globalisation from Below. Through conversation with the exhibition, the roundtable considers how migration, trade, belonging and urban change shape contemporary cities and connect everyday lives across the globe.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/transnational-diaries-a-conversation-across-borders-80523/", "official_url": "https://www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event/66432/transnational-diaries-a-conversation-across-borders", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-06T17:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "Birkbeck College", "address": "WC1E 7HX London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Walking Tour: mapping histories of migration, community and public art with Kuda Mushangi", "start": "2026-11-07T11:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-07T13:00:00Z", "place": "Bow Road & Nunnery Gallery, 181-183 Bow Road, London, London, E3 2SJ, United Kingdom", "address": "", "price": "£7.00 – £10.00 (£7 for concessions)", "price_from": "7.00", "price_to": "10.00", "category": "tours", "tags": ["art/public-art", "history/migration", "community"], "description": "A guided walking tour exploring Bhajan Hunjan's public art, beginning with samples in the Nunnery Gallery before visiting her public commissions around the local area.
