Artcore is pleased to invite you to the launch of The Derbyshire Windrush Exhibition. Organised by the High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Ms. Theresa Peltier and Mr. George Grignon in celebration of Black History Month, this special event will take place at Artcore Gallery on Wednesday, 4 October 2023 at 6.00 pm.
The Derbyshire Windrush Exhibition is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the African Caribbean community in Derbyshire. It traces their remarkable voyage from Jamaica and the broader Caribbean area since the momentous arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush in the UK in 1948. This exhibit commemorates and acknowledges the priceless contributions made by this community to both Derbyshire and the United Kingdom. It features never-before-seen historical photos and depictions of Derbyshire’s Windrush pioneers and influential figures, along with valuable firsthand accounts from members of the African Caribbean community in Derbyshire.
