Black Cultural Archives

This much-needed centre for black British history looks out onto Windrush Square, which is named after the ship that brought Caribbean workers to war-torn ’40s Britain. Black Cultural Archives preserves these peoples’ stories in its vaults, alongside temporary exhibitions which show how people of African and Caribbean origin have shaped UK history. Recent subjects have included the legacy of Windrush, the contemporary Black Britsh art scene and Black resistance to scientific bias.
