It is the first site-specific art and sound installation to be held at the Port of Tilbury in Essex and the UK dedicated to people of the Windrush Generation. The installation is to be launched to the public later this year 2021 subject to Covid-19 Government restrictions.
2020 has had its challenges but we at Evewright Arts are looking ahead in 2021 to a few highlights of how you can engage with our artwork projects to enjoy from the comfort of your home during lockdown. We will be producing a series of online exhibitions over the next twelve months leading up to the official launch of

We are pleased to announce that Artist EVEWRIGHT will be appearing on Joanna Lumley's Home Sweet Home - Travels in My Own Land next Tuesday 2nd February 8pm - 9pm on ITV
In the first episode of a three-part documentary, Joanna Lumley's journey starts at Tilbury Docks in Essex where she interviews artist EVEWRIGHT who has created a site-specific art installation Tilbury Bridge Walkway of Memories.
Joanna is taken on a tour of the artwork which is located in one of the original passenger walkways 55 x metres in length where the Empire Windrush Ship arrived and docked in Tilbury in 1948. She explores some of the stories that celebrates and commemorate the arrival of people from the Windrush.
The installation is an immersive visual art experience, installed by the artist on to 72 windows with 432 panes of glass collaged with photographs, documents, boat passenger tickets and memorabilia. The stunning artwork includes audio stories about the lives of some of the elders and their families, whose images are featured in the installation. Using QR codes, visitors will be able to access these stories on their own devices. 160 minutes listening time in 10-minute segments across 22 listening windows are placed throughout the installation. It is a tribute to those that travelled not only on the Empire Windrush in 1948 but to the many that came before and the many that followed that journey to the UK.
