“This display is an expression of my Jamaican heritage and Hackney’s rich culture and history” –

V&A East Storehouse unveils new mini display, ‘Look What I Found’ from East London-based artist, Jazz Grant.
Created during her 2025 research residency in collaboration with
@hackneycouncil and
@love.hackney , the display celebrates Caribbean heritage, identity and creativity from objects within the V&A collection.
Her new vivid collage, To Travel This Ship, pulls from imagery of Caribbean flora, archival photographs of the Windrush Generation and references to London’s contemporary landscape to create a bridge between the past and present generations of east London’s Jamaican community.
The collage will be reimagined as a mural for
@hackneylibraries in 2026, as part of the 2025 Hackney Council’s Windrush Amplified Art Grant.
Visitors can see the collage and the objects that shaped Jazz’s creative process on Level 2 at V&A East Storehouse.
