AN EXHIBITION on the Windrush generation has opened in south London, showing how various families are living their lives in Britain 75 years on.

A Voyage Through the Generations, by award-winning social documentary photographer Jim Grover, explores the different ways in which the community has passed down its traditions and Caribbean heritage. It also shines a light on individuals, groups and organisations in south London.

The photographs explore narratives of inspirational women in the community and reflect the changes and hardships endured since the Windrush scandal of  2018, when it emerged that hundreds of Commonwealth citizens had been wrongly detained, deported and denied their rights under Tory hostile environment policies.
