SUMMARY:Exhibition: Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge is the first exhibition of its kind\, shining a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK. \nThis co-curated exhibition was created in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi and the African Caribbean Research Group. \nFeaturing for the first time a series of oral histories from local Caribbean Elders in Cambridge\, the oral histories capture special moments of family history\, experiences and invaluable community stories. Stories collected in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi share the fantastic legacy of the Windrush generation through music\, food\, religion\, the arts and community. From pub landlords\, local newsagent owners and steelpan bands\, the exhibition celebrates the people at the heart of Cambridge’s community. \nThis project was only made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This project brought together an intergenerational team of volunteers to tell the story of the local community. A group of young “Windrush Curators” worked alongside elders\, family members and local community members to research\, uncover and share the untold histories of Cambridge’s Caribbean past. \nDisplaying a range of personal items on loan from community members\, the exhibit features photographs\, textiles\, steel pans\, local cricket history and 6 new oral histories for visitors to explore. \nFind out more about the exhibition here. \nAccessibility \nYou can read about our accessibility information on our website here Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge.
