Summary
Tuesday 4 July–Sunday 9 July
Outernet London
8am–11.30pm
SPEAK, a new music and film installation commissioned by the Migration Museum exploring the relationship between care and migration to mark the 75th anniversary of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), will be screened at Outernet London during the NHS’s 75th anniversary week.
Created by artists Emmanuel Sugo and Kaia Laurielle, SPEAK features the voices and perspectives of seven first- or second-generation migrant NHS workers. Through song and storytelling, these personal experiences form the emotional centre of the installation, exploring how their experience as migrants has informed their work, the challenges and sacrifices they have made, and the rewards they have found.
SPEAK offers a unique perspective on the complex relationship between care and migration, inviting audiences to question: who are the people who care for us? And do we care enough about them?
This free installation will make its London premiere on Tuesday 4 July at the Now Pop One space at Outernet London, an immersive entertainment district located in the heart of the West End, and will be on display throughout the NHS 75th anniversary week as part of NHS 75: Passages on Migration and Care, an exhibition bringing together projects relating to migration and care within the NHS.
SPEAK also forms the centre-piece of the Migration Museum’s new national touring exhibition Heart of the Nation: Migration and the Making of the NHS, opening at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery on 30 June 2023.
