Walking Windrush: A Black History in Leeds Sketch Walk

Workshop
Adults only
Event organiser:
Leeds Sanctuary

In June each year, we celebrate the legacy of the Windrush generation and their descendants on Windrush Day. Now, 77 years on from the arrival of Empire Windrush, we want to mark this anniversary by getting to know the local history of racial justice in our city.

Join Leeds Sanctuary as we learn about the history of the Black community in Leeds, while sketching landmarks in the city centre. This creative evening will be led by local historian and artist, Clifford Stead.

No artistic skills or experience are needed, and all materials will be provided. You won’t have to show anyone your sketches! Just listen, learn and give it a go.
