A live discussion chaired by Nikki Bedi on identity and migration in the arts.

To what extent do artists retain or relinquish their individuality as they move from their native environment to a foreign one, and how does that affect their creativity? How do home based artists respond to the influx of culture from abroad? Guests include the Turkish author Elif Shafak, the British poet Benjamin Zephaniah, the Sierra Leonean singer Yasmin Kadi and Mumbai artist Baptist Coelho.
