The Windrush generation is being celebrated in a series of 10 new portraits that will go on public display for the first time from Thursday 22 June at Edinburgh’s Royal Palace. Commissioned by King Charles in 2022, the special display commemorates the positive contributions these pioneering men and women have made to the UK. The portraits were created by black artists personally selected by the king.
The Windrush: Portraits of a Pioneering Generation display is included as part of a visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse until mid-September. The portraits will then go on display at the National Portrait Gallery from October for approximately six months
