The idea to create the Windrush Festival was formed in 2017. The goal was to produce a black owned and run festival, which would reflect intersectionality of subcultural groups across the Caribbean and Africa, whilst highlighting the obvious merge with British culture itself. It also aimed to highlight the often overshadowed Creole elements in the Black Community. Once launched it became the annual celebration to also acknowledge the newly formed National Windrush Day created in 2018.
Founded by a grass-roots entrepreneur Wendy & her small collective of friends, the vision was set in motion to deliver London’s first large-scale Windrush Festival. It was important to present a festival which used the Windrush as a core narrative to express the relevance of historical Black migration in Britain.
“We wanted to help shape the ongoing generational legacy of the UK’s Black Communities & create something to be enjoyable for a range of people across all community but delivered exclusively from the black perspective. For many decades, multiculturalism & popular culture has leveraged itself on various aspects of ‘Blackness’ without necessarily attributing it back to the communities it was taken from, or allowing them to equitably celebrate as freely in our social, outdoor & open spaces.”
The Windrush Festival is not a grant funded event or a major sponsored festival. It is self-funded by the founder Wendy. If you want to sponsor, get in touch.
