3rd Place: There is Never a Time and a Place for Oppression
Samuel Adeosun, aged 18
This painting gives an insight into my perspective on the story and events of the arrival of the Windrush migrants and how prevalent its history still is, in the fight for Black people’s rights today.
As well as the Windrush arrivals, my work highlights how thousands of Caribbean residents came to support the Windrush generation in a time of need, amalgamating the past and the present. People from all walks of life have come to support the people of the Windrush generation being wrongfully deported from the UK, in the recent Windrush Protests in 2019.
Creating this artwork has been an outlet for me – and hopefully it makes others realise too – that at this point in time, especially after the recent fight for racial equality, there should be no more oppression and discrimination.
