Windrush Festival, 13-27 June, Tottenham

From 13 June to 27 June the Bernie Grant Arts Centre is bringing the spirit of the Windrush to Haringey with their first ever Windrush Festival, a two-week long programme of artistic activity highlighting the contribution the Windrush Generation and their descendants have made to the cultural landscape of the UK.

There will be a full calendar of performance, literature, music, cinema, workshops, food, talks, debates and much more.

The week culminates in a day of free outdoor events on Windrush Day – Saturday 22 June. The programme of events will include music, dance and talks, including a workshop with dance legend Namron OBE, Black Book Swap and performances by Arts Bridge and the award-winning Steppaz, a local street dance crew.

To close the festival, on Saturday 27 June, there will be a  screening of the National Theatre LIVE Small Island at BGAC, the new theatre adaptation of Andrea Levy’s Orange Prize-winning novel.
