Jim Grover's photographs mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush.
An exhibition by photographer Jim Grover opens this week, to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush, which brought 492 Caribbean migrants to the UK. Windrush: A Voyage through the Generations explores what the distinctive Caribbean culture of the first arrivals means for the subsequent generations.
Ms Grocia, third generation, says: "When I think about Easter in Jamaica, it's buns and cheese and fried fish. We do that every year - and the grandchildren know that's what we do. They'll hopefully instil it in their children."Ingrid Munroe, 73, who arrived from Guyana in 1972, has taught her granddaughter to crochet, a traditional skill used by many of the early migrants to decorate their homes.
Every Remembrance Day and a Sunday around Windrush Day, local dignitaries, veterans, cadets and members of the armed forces from an array of Caribbean and African countries join the parade, which spans the generations.On Remembrance Day 2021 and 2022, Azizi Peters, now 25, who came to Britain in 2020 and joined the Army, laid wreaths on behalf of the armed forces.Jim Grover
Kerryn says: "I choose what to impart to my children. If I don't impart my culture into my kids, they will lose it. "It's been 14 years I've been here, every Thursday without fail. It's good what we are doing here, helping people."Brightly coloured nail varnish is now appearing around the domino tables of south London.Aged from their 20s to their 60s, they wear baby-pink polo shirts with their nicknames on the backs.
