In GBA 176 we get better acquainted with Eithne. She talks about movement between cultures, both her own global travel experiences and the experiences and issues facing groups of migrants within London . She also talks about working on equality and diversity within museums, telling her own stories in memoir and on stage and introduces me to the concept of Intangible Heritage.

Content note: Some complex or upsetting issues are touched on briefly at times during this conversation: e.g FGM, abortion, bereavement, racism
