National Maritime Museum Greenwich Celebrates Windrush Day with Evewright Arts Powerful Expressions

We're thrilled to share the resounding success of Evewright Arts contribution to the Windrush Day weekend program on June 21st at the National Maritime Museum Greenwich which attracted over 6,700 visitors on the day! Evewright Arts brought a truly impactful experience to the museum, captivating visitors with their diverse creative artworks and films.

 

The day featured grand banners that commanded attention, thought-provoking film screenings, and an engaging Q&A session along with a range of activities throughout the day by other contributors. This rich program, brought many first-time visitors to the museum and the films were pivotal in fostering meaningful dialogue across every generation about the enduring importance of Windrush Day. It was an opportunity for audience members to reflect on not only the past but their own place in society as British citizens, their identity and journey to continue to preserve and create new stories.
