Windrush: "Positions of Enunciation", from the Caribbean to Scandal & Celebration
Join Museum of the Home’s Gaynor Tutani in conversation with curator, archivist and academic Makiya Davis-Bramble, artist and cultural curator Jean Joseph, and curator, artist and scholar Michael McMillan, as they gather to explore the layered histories of migration, the legacy of the ‘Windrush Generation’, and the ever-evolving idea of Diaspora.
Inspired by the writings and wisdom of cultural thinkers of the likes of Stuart Hall, James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, Sylvia Wynter, Louise Simone Bennett and many others, this afternoon invites you to reflect on how identities are shaped, challenged, and reimagined across time and space. Together, the panel will trace lines of movement — not only of people, but of memory, music, art, culture, resistance, and renewal, exploring what it means to hold history, while stepping into the future.
This is not simply a conversation about the past. It is a reckoning with the present. It is a celebration of multiplicity, a confrontation with complex truths, and a meditation on what it means to exist in-between: between cultures, between definitions, between homes.
We often define ourselves in fixed terms to feel grounded — but what if identity is not a destination, but a journey always unfolding? As Stuart Hall once wrote, “Identity is not as transparent or unproblematic as we think… it is a production, which is never complete, always in process, and always constituted within, not outside, representation.”
Come be part of this timely and necessary dialogue — one that honours the roots of our shared history while embracing the ever-shifting nature of who we are.
