Passport to the Motherland-Migration Dreams

and remember 70 years of sacrifice and achievement,

against a soundtrack delivered by Mistah Brown on the decks for Trojan Records,

with special guest Norman Jay MBE.

Explore the 'colonial dream' of a better way of life from 'home' and those who were loved and left behind, many never to be reunited. Through creative interaction, displays, talks and performances, unpack this timely discourse of migration and survival and immerse yourself in creative Caribbean nostalgia. 

• DJ’s Norman Jay MBE, and Mistah Brown will be on the decks for Trojan Records, delivering a 70-year migration soundtrack.
• Dr Michael McMillan, writer, dramatist, artist, curator and scholar will share his ‘testimony’ to Migration Dreams.
• View films that are engaging, funny and impactful, and bring together stories of arrival, the host nation, acceptance, staying power, achievements and contributions.
• See Alex Bartsch’s 'Covers: Retracing Reggae Record Sleeves in London', an immersive photographic display of London-based reggae album covers re-shot in their original locations, presented by One Love Books and curated by Al ‘Fingers’ Newman.
• The National Caribbean Heritage Museum (MUSEUMAND) travels from Nottingham to the V&A with suitcases full of life stories that shine a light on shared identities.
• 492 Korna Klub the UK’s only black radio-drama soap opera series presents WITHOUT PLANNING PERMISSION, problematic scenarios for you to resolve.
• Jacqueline Crookes shares stories from her recent book ICE MIGRATION about descendants of a Jamaican mixed Indian and African heritage family.
• Sheba Montserrat performs her unique brand of poetry, storytelling and rhyme on the effects of migration on a people.
• Jackie Mwanza transports you to a place of travel within THE GRIP NARRATIVES, where you make your own grip (suitcase) and use it to showcase your personal stories and slogans of migration.
• Krik Krak Productions presents MONOPOLIZE a new game that invites you to suggest possible inclusions of contributions made by the Windrush Generation.
