About this project
Windrush Untold Stories is a photography series which captures the stories of the Windrush generation and their descendants, observing the period of time between 1948 and 1971 when many Caribbeans arrived to England.
In a collaboration between ourselves, The Big Caribbean Lunch, the Friends of Windrush Square, the Black Cultural Archives, and Lambeth Council this outdoor exhibition initially featured 20 storyboards displayed in the square, each sharing the life and experiences of a member of the Windrush Generation.
In June 2026, it was exhibited at the Houses of Parliament in Portcullis House.
