Welcome to Windrush Stories: Portraits & Voices.

This project brings together primary school pupils from London and Luton with members of the Windrush Generation. Young people spent time in conversation with elders, learning their stories of arrival, settling and building community in Britain. Through drama, photography and creative storytelling, pupils created their own artistic responses to these histories.

Each portrait was photographed by Steve Bright. Below, you can hear the audio description of this image.

To see how this project came together, from the first workshops to the final exhibition, watch our documentary film below.

Esmie was born in Jamaica and came to the UK in 1965.
