Windrush Tek Over at the Hackney Empire

  • Hackney Empire 291 Mare Street London E8 1EJ (map)

Presented by Actively SeeK.I.N.G. and Makeda Creative House in collaboration with Hackney Empire.

Windrush Tek Over is an immersive cultural celebration honouring legacy, resilience and joy of the Windrush generation, live performance and storytelling in the cultural Hackney Empire. The heart of the event, a ship-front installation anchors journeys of migration, arrival and belonging. Around it: live art, music, steel pan and performances throughout the day. Visitors are invited not just to witness, but to participate, joining writing, dance workshops and the chance to perform in a final showcase alongside professional dancers and actors. This is heritage, creativity and pride.
