Newham Windrush Day 2025: TURNING POINT Screening at The Gate Library

19 June 2025

In the lead up to Windrush Day celebrations, Newham will be hosting special film screenings of Sweet Patootee Arts’, TURNING POINT film. Inspired by oral histories about the Black Caribbean experience after the First World War, TURNING POINT spotlights ‘freedom’ in Britain’s former slave colonies.

Ordinary Black men and women, at the bottom of the colonial social ladder, are brought out of the shadows. All is evoked in four monologue-style performances combined with projection, and 3D sound.

The film has been funded by Arts Council England, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, The Arsenal Foundation, and Crowdfunder donations.

Where: The Gate Library, 6-8 Woodgrange Road, London , E7 0QH

When: Thursday June 19th, 5:30pm-7:30pm
