Dorcas Stories from the Front Room celebrates 75 years of Windrush, tracing its history and future legacy through stories of textile crafts and fashion, Dorcas Clubs and the symbolic ‘Caribbean front room’.

For many of the Windrush generation their crafting stories decorate the front room but are also made in the front room. This is especially seen through textile networks such as the Dorcas Clubs, which operated in the Black-led churches, many of which have roots in Birmingham.

The exhibition was co-curated by Craftspace Director Deirdre Figueiredo MBE.with Rose Sinclair MBE.
