Marina Warner: 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 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.
