Please circulate in your networks, apologies for any cross postings
Hi everyone
See below info on the "Arrivals" event at 'the Scoop' at City Hall that June and I (Nzinga Soundz - DJ Ade & June Rankin) will be DJing at and a link to the website: It's a free event and we will be playing music from 1pm - 10pm
Arrival: celebrating Windrush and the communities who followed
It’s 70 years since the ship Empire Windrush arrived into Tilbury Docks from the Caribbean. Caribbean migration has a long history in London, and Windrush is a significant moment within this. It precipitated future waves of post war mass migration and has shaped our open and diverse identity ever since.
Arrival will tell the stories of the Windrush generation and celebrate their contribution to life in London. It will also be a platform for the many people and communities, from Europe and the rest the world, who’ve embarked on similar journeys. Through events and broadcast, it invites discussion and offers advice for those wanting to know more.
It will also shine a spotlight on the recent immigration and visa issues affecting so many Commonwealth citizens.
The Mayor will thank the Windrush pioneers with three special happenings:
* 'Arrival' event<https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/arts-and-culture/current-culture-projects/arrival-story-windrush-and-communities-followed#Stub-126502>

'Arrival' event
On Saturday 30 June, City Hall will host a free event<https://www.london.gov.uk/events/2018-06-30/arrival-celebrating-windrush> to bring the story of ‘arrival in London’ to life.
There’ll be talks, music, workshops, film screenings and installations. The day will honour the Windrush generation and also act as a springboard for four key community conversations:
* Making the journey – personal testimony on the reality for a London migrant
* Telling our stories – how we encourage discussion and preserve these stories for the future
* Windrush women –social and economic role of Windrush women in creating strong workforces
* Looking back and moving forward - recognising Caribbean migration before Windrush, understanding what happens next for all of London’s migrant communities
We’ll announce a full event schedule at the end of May.
