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.

The exhibition includes a photo story of 97-year-old Alford Gardner, one of just two known remaining adult passengers on the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948.

Many of the members of Windrush generation shown in the photographs still live in Brixton and Clapham, as some of the first of those who arrived in Britain were housed in the underground air-raid shelter at Clapham South Tube station and sought their first jobs at the Brixton labour exchange.

The exhibition at Clapham library runs until September 2. For more information, visit www.windrushvoyagethroughthegenerations.com
