As the youngest of my father’s daughters, I’m a first generation descendant of those that came to Britain from the Caribbean as a result of the Windrush policy. This is my debut poem in homage to the Windrush generations before, alongside and ahead of me. Written with gratitude, respect, and love as a daughter with a daughter. Our stories and visions are all around us. Please take time to read, listen and let me know what you think. ——— The beautiful photos are from our family albums and archives. Featuring my Grandmother Katherine Moodie, Aunt Magdalene Hibbert, Aunt Rose Issacs, Aunt Violet, my father Nesta Moodie, Cousins Yvonne, Donald, Bernadette (@breadfruit1936 ) and myself. ——— Written during our ‘Retelling Windrush’ artists residency that I did with my wonderful duo @griffi.rosie . We were the first artist in residence commissioned by the @nationalwindrushmuseum and the @royalmuseumsgreenwich partnership. ——— We will be sharing this and more artworks from @griffi.rosie artist residency to mark #windrushday @royalmuseumsgreenwich . Saturday 21st June, 12.35pm in the Lecture Theatre. ——— ©RosieRoss2025 Poem, Voice, Graphics: Rosie Ross 📷: Rosie Ross & Moodie Family Archives ©2025 📷George Padmore Institute Archives | The New Cross Massacre Story ©2011 📷: Notting Hill Carnival 1977, Laurie Sparham & 1981 Mike Goldwater / Network | The Struggle For Black Arts in Britain ©1986 ——— #windrushgeneration #windrush77 #windrushday #windrushscandal #history #blackbritish #blackbritishhistory #community #blackbritishartists #blackbritisharchives #poetrycommunity #blackpoets #womenartists #blackwomenartists #artistmother #caribbeanartist

We’re back….by popular demand! 🤩 In conversation, reflecting on our Windrush Artist Residency @royalmuseumsgreenwich , as part of Windrush Day events, Saturday 21st June, 1.45pm. 📸 ‘Tenderous Memories’ prototype & G&R on photoshoot. #windrush #windrushgeneration #artistinresidence

Thankful to see #noahdavis profound legacy @barbicancentre . Which harmoniously exhibits his tender investment for community. Capturing the voids of disenfranchisement, grief and the importance of togetherness within the confines of brutalist societies. Beautiful.

Seasonal transformation, we’ve been waiting for your laden bloom.

Absolutely a National Hero. Great that today will be dedicated and named here on in, in honour of Benjamin Zephaniah. 📖 Pages from Talking Turkeys, 1994.

‘Nickoyan & Ayah’ ~ Reflecting Radiance It’s these quiet moments that are the most powerful in nurturing and empowering our children. @misanharriman captured this tender intimacy of being a caregiver to a child in this beautiful photo. Selecting this image for the exhibition was a no brainier and I’m delighted Misan generously agreed for it to be auctioned to raise funds for @blackchild_ds community. Bids are still open can be made through the silent auction via the qr code. This image can be seen at the exhibition which is open until 1st April @hope93gallery .

Poignant moments such as this are what motivate me to do what I do. Underpinning my belief in the power of art for its fundamental connection with our innate human identity and sense of self. Expansive of reductive labels, categories and barriers to access imposed by society. #ReflectingRadiance in Action ✨👌🏽 Open 10am-6pm until 1 April @hope93gallery
