What we love

A fascinating publication highlighting the fascinating stories of ten individuals who arrived in Britain on HMT Windrush.

Description

Windrush: Portraits of a Pioneering Generation is an illuminating book that tells the fascinating stories of ten individuals who arrived in Britain on HMT Windrush in 1948 to start a new life. Featuring a foreword by His Majesty The King, this book accompanies a special exhibition that showcases ten portraits of Windrush Generation members. These portraits were commissioned by The King to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush on 22 June 1948.

The book and exhibition highlight the experiences of early pioneers who left their homelands to help rebuild post-war Britain. They were instrumental in developing essential infrastructure, such as health and transport services. Their resilience, pride, and contributions showcase the positive impact of diversity across the UK.

The exhibition will be on display at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh from 22 June 2023 until mid-September, before moving to the National Portrait Gallery in London for approximately six months starting in October.

Published by Modern Art Press in association with the Royal Collection Trust, this book is a tribute to the remarkable individuals who shaped modern Britain.
