Exhibitions for Black History Month

Fusion Arts Oxford are running a series of exhibitions at The Island this October, all focused on the Windrush generation. They're open across two separate blocks of dates: Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 October, and then again from Wednesday 28 to Saturday 31 October, from 11.00am to 6.00pm each day. If you can't make the first run, you've got the second one to fall back on.

The exhibitions are a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Windrush generation, and to their contribution to the Oxford community. It's a look at the people who arrived from the Caribbean in the decades following the Second World War, and the mark they've left on the city. The focus is as much on the creative side as the personal stories, so it's worth taking your time with it rather than just rushing through.

The Island is at 14 Park End Street, OX1 1HH, right in the city centre. Entry is free, and there's no booking needed, so you can just turn up whenever suits you best. With the exhibitions running across two different weeks, you've got plenty of room to fit it in around your usual routine. Open 11.00am to 6.00pm daily, Wednesday to Saturday.
