The Windrush Untold Stories exhibition in Brixton features 20 portraits and stories of Caribbean individuals who immigrated to the UK after World War II. Following a vandalism incident on July 3, where portraits were damaged, the exhibition received worldwide support, including approximately 5,000 in donations within a week. Despite not reaching a 15,000 target, restoration of the portraits proceeded on credit due to the urgency of honoring the stories involved. Organizers continue to seek support for the campaign, emphasizing the importance of maintaining visibility for the Windrush generation's legacy.
The Windrush Untold Stories exhibition, displayed in Windrush Square, features 20 portraits and recollections of people who arrived in the UK from the Caribbean in the postwar era.
News of the attack led to community groups involved in the exhibition receiving support from all over the world, with about 5,000 donated to an online fundraiser in a week.
The organisers were keen to see the exhibition restored quickly, and would keep the fundraiser open to continue honoring the legacy of the Windrush generation.
Messages of solidarity poured in from across the UK and beyond, testament to the power of truth, visibility and collective pride.
