Windrush 2019
|
City Eye was delighted, in 2019, to work with SoCo Music Project and Black Heritage following their successful application for funding from the government’s Windrush Day Grant Scheme to celebrate and commemorate the incredible impact of the Windrush generation on Southampton’s culture. The project, delivered in partnership with Unity 101 and ArtfulScribe, captured and reflected on the extraordinary stories and memories from everyday lives that have shaped Southampton’s culture.
A series of exciting interactive workshops, took place at the heart of the community, exploring and celebrating the culture, lives, challenges, journeys and personal experiences of the Windrush generation and their descendants in Southampton. These stories were shared with the next generation and the wider community through inspirational celebratory events and educational workshops. |
