Journey's Festival International presents No Direction Home

Loraine and Anastasia are both based in Coventry. They bring humour to their insights into the asylum system, and fresh takes on life in the UK. Loraine is also a poet – her second collection, Now I Sing, was published in 2023.

Selam is a comedy performer and producer based in London who runs her own regular nights, Azmari Bet, bringing together Ethiopian and Eritrean performers across music, poetry and stand-up.
