Thursday 13 February 19:00 - 20:30. British Library Pigott Theatre and online.

Hit the road with the medieval women!

This session examines the origins of a tradition that has never stopped evolving, bringing together a panel of especially well-travelled experts. Join them in navigating the lives of medieval women on the move, tracing their tracks to the present day in an exploration of pilgrimages old and new; sacred and profane.
With award-winning authors/academics Diane Watt, Sara Wheeler, Marion Turner, and music from Kate Arnold.
Kate Arnold bases her music around the hammered dulcimer and other medieval and Renaissance stringed instruments. Classically trained on violin and vocals, she previously fronted ‘punk baroque’ band Fear of the Forest. Kate is following her two-part electro-medievalist album, ROTA FORTUNAE, with a new album drawing on material encountered during her PhD research on medieval French and Arabic songs.
