About the Event

This event is a guided tour with Artist EVEWRIGHT the creator of Tilbury Bridge Walkway of Memories, a site-specific art installation, comprised of images, documents, audio recordings and memorabilia adorning the bridge that passengers of the Empire Windrush first walked across as they entered Britain in 1948.  Attending the live tour will give you an insight into how the installation was created and extra stories about the lives of the people who's photographs and documents are exhibited within the installation. This art and sound installation may invoke a multitude of emotions.

Visitors are invited to download a copy of our Exhibition Guide on arrival to the art and sound installation.
