Ciara Leeming

Everybody has a story. That is the premise of this series of short 
vignettes, featuring the words of 25 people who have moved to the
 UK from another country at some point in their life. Some arrived as
 children and others as adults. Some moved here to work or study while 
others came seeking sanctuary from injustice at home.
 The aim is simply to celebrate the rich and fascinating diversity
 of people living in the UK and to offer a small window into their lives.

Four of these portraits and stories are being exhibited at Manchester’s People’s History Museum, as part of a year of programming around the theme of migration. The book can be viewed free of charge here.
