LOST AND FOUND
MAPPING EUROPEAN LITERARY LONDON
UCL EXHBITION : OCT 23 - MAY 24

Production an audio element for the European Literary Map of London exhibition, taking place in the South Cloisters at UCL.

For centuries, writers have come to London from across Europe and beyond – as honoured guests and anonymous aliens; tourists and refugees; students and wanderers. 

In the squalid slums of the East End, in the glitter and glamour of Belgravia, in the unspoilt expanse of Hampstead Heath, these writers lose – and find - themselves. Their encounters with the city leave a mark: on the writer, on their work and, sometimes, on London itself.

‘Lost & Found’ uncovers these literary traces, revealing a Europe and a London of the imagination. Featuring the writings of Hans Christian Andersen, Giacomo Casanova, Joseph Conrad, Ananda Devi, Simonetta Agnello Hornby and many others.
