Watch a new series of interviews with people who either belong to the Windrush generation or are direct descendants of the Windrush generation. Produced by 948 Collective.
The project, Windrush Legacies, is designed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Windrush through a contemporary lens. It considers the experiences of those who came to Britain during the Windrush period and the influence they’ve had on Britain’s creative and cultural landscape today, from the perspective of British-Caribbeans.
The video series will be available to watch in the South London Gallery’s Fox Reception on 24 and 25 June.
