Windrush: A Voyage through the Generations

June 1 – September 2

Brixton Windrush Day parade in June 2022. The parade, which spans all generations and is organised by the West Indian Association of Service Personnel which is based in Clapham, marches up Brixton Road before assembling in front of the African and Caribbean War Memorial in Windrush Square.
The Baptism in St James’ Church, Clapham of Sariyah, the great granddaughter, and thus 4th generation, of Floris Bailey who arrived from Jamaica in the 1950s.

Windrush: A Voyage through the Generations is a new photography exhibition by Jim Grover, the award-winning social documentary photographer behind the lens of Windrush: Portrait of a Generation, the acclaimed 2018 photo-story which honoured the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks.

Now, five years on, and to mark the 75th anniversary and this major milestone, Windrush: A Voyage through the Generations, is a moving new photo-story which explores how the generations which followed the Windrush Generation are living their lives in the UK today. Uniquely, this work explores and invites conversations around the different ways of passing down traditions, the continuity of heritage and intergenerational exchange.
