Windrush Generation & Postcolonial History trip to London

Embark on a 4-Day Cultural and Historical Exploration in London: Understanding the Windrush Generation and Postcolonial Impact.

A Sample Itinerary

Day 1: The Windrush Legacy Begin your journey in London by delving into the history of the Windrush Generation, the immigrants from the Caribbean who came to the UK between 1948 and 1971. Start at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton, which provides an in-depth look at the experiences and contributions of Afro-Caribbean communities in Britain. Spend the afternoon exploring Brixton, a hub of Caribbean culture, with its vibrant market and community spaces.


Day 2: Postcolonial Narratives in the British Capital Focus on postcolonial narratives across London. Visit the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, where guided tours will discuss the provenance of various exhibits and their ties to Britain's colonial past. Explore how these institutions are addressing issues of representation and repatriation in their collections.


Day 3: Multicultural London Explore the multicultural landscape of London, shaped significantly by postcolonial migration. Visit areas like Brick Lane, known for its Bengali community, and Notting Hill, famous for its annual Caribbean carnival. Engage in discussions about the impact of postcolonial migration on London's social, cultural, and political life.


Day 4: Modern Responses and Reflections On the final day, explore contemporary responses to postcolonialism and the Windrush scandal. Visit galleries or exhibitions showcasing postcolonial and diasporic art. Conclude with a workshop or panel discussion involving local historians, activists, and community leaders, discussing the ongoing impact of colonialism and the importance of multicultural narratives in modern Britain.

Throughout the tour, expert guides and speakers will provide enriching insights and foster discussions to deepen your understanding of the Windrush Generation's impact, postcolonial history, and their ongoing relevance in contemporary British society.
