“The moment I arrived in London, I knew I was home.. My uncle met me at Waterloo, and we travelled by Tube to Finchley Road. I wasn’t even listening to what he was saying, I was looking round. It was summertime, and the whole of London town was still into the Coronation. And I went all over London – even up past Piccadilly Circus – travelling on the buses, on the train. It was amazing.” Frank Bowling travelled to the UK at the age of 19 in May 1953, arriving in London during the Coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June. The presentation of Arrival on London’s Piccadilly Lights coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Empire Windrush arriving on 22 June. The ship brought a large group of Caribbean people to the UK to help rebuild Britain after WWII, with thousands more following in the decades thereafter – a moment which shaped the social and cultural fabric of modern Britain. Throughout the exhibition, CIRCA will amplify @bcaheritage (Black Cultural Archives) – the home of Black British history which has dedicated over 40 years to celebrating the contributions of African and Caribbean people in the UK From 4 May until 10 June, audiences connected to the Windrush Generation will be invited to upload memories and photos documenting their stories of Arrival to the CIRCA.ART website. An edited film featuring a curated selection of public submissions will be presented on @PicLights, Thursday 22 June at 8pm, to coincide with #Windrush75 Day celebrations. Link in bio.

#BiennaleArchitettura2023 #TheLaboratoryOfTheFuture Special mention to @ThandiLoewenson “for a militant research practice that materializes spatial histories of land struggles, extraction, and liberation through the medium of graphite and speculative writing as design tools”.
