Pitzhanger Late: Windrush 75
Overview
HMT Empire Windrush arrived in Britain on 22 June 1948 with more than 800 passengers from the Caribbean. To mark the 75th anniversary of the day, Pitzhanger is hosting a free, drop-in workshop with textile artist Candice Rodney-Sobers.
Madras fabric is used throughout the Caribbean; in every Caribbean country which uses it within its national dress, the Madras cloth has a unique colour and style. Using strips of discarded fabric, you will create your own fabric sample and learn about the origins of Caribbean Madras fabric: from its beginnings in Chennai, India, influenced by tartan worn by Scottish regiments, to its journey to the Caribbean.
