#vandalised

An outdoor exhibition in Brixton celebrating the legacy of the Windrush Generation has been vandalised in what organisers believe was a racially motivated attack. The Windrush Untold Stories exhibition, currently on display in Windrush Square, south London, was targeted earlier today (July 3). Portraits featured in the exhibition were reportedly smashed and defaced, with organisers describing the incident as a “blatant act of racial hatred”. The exhibition was created by Friends of Windrush Square in collaboration with the Empathy Museum, Photofusion, Born or Made, and the Black Cultural Archives. It aims to honour the history and contributions of the Windrush Generation through storytelling and visual arts, including work by the late Clovis Salmon, also known as Sam the Wheels—a pioneering documentarian and photographer. In a statement, Friends of Windrush Square expressed “profound concern and outrage” following what it described as a “disturbing incident of racist desecration”.
