Over A Barrel: Windrush Children, Tragedy and Triumph (Exhibition)

This exhibition has been running since 6 June. While Windrush is often associated with adults seeking new opportunities and a ‘better life’, the stories of Windrush generation children are often overlooked. In the Caribbean diaspora, children were often taught to be seen and not heard, perpetuating a prevalent rhetoric. Our exhibition gives voice to both Barrel Children (a term coined by Dr. Claudette Crawford-Brown), who had minimal contact with their parents through remittances, often in the form of barrels of goods from England like letters, parcels, fabric, soap from abroad, and children born in Britain to Windrush parents. Booking not required.
