Windrush: Arrival 1948 Exhibition

This exhibition created and displayed 1,027 individual landing cards representing each passenger who arrived on the MV Empire Windrush at Tilbury docks on 22 June 1948. Based on a new transcription of the Windrush passenger list held at The National Archives, the landing cards reflect a single pivotal moment in the life of each passenger; a snapshot of hope, opportunity and uncertainty. The exhibition also included maps, ephemera, and a mid-century Caribbean front room installation.
