Description
To mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush, we welcome The Windrush Stories: Don’t Give Up exhibition to Bradford Literature Festival this summer in the Festival Hub.
This extraordinary exhibition was co-curated by three young people with African and Caribbean heritage and developed by Nigel Guy, Director of Windrush Generations, in partnership with Jill Iredale of Bradford Museums and Galleries and the British Library. It shares the poignant stories of 22 Windrush elders and their offspring who journeyed from around the world and came to settle in Bradford. These touching reflections and words of wisdom are memorialised for all to see, hear and celebrate.
This exhibition will be available throughout the festival. Don’t miss your opportunity to celebrate the untold stories that have helped build and shape the city you know and love.
