Our trustee Robert Winder appeared on talkRADIO’s breakfast show to talk about why the Windrush scandal is a “disgrace” and “embarrassing to the British brand”.

Phillip Hall, a contributor to the London Magazine’s April/May 2018 issue, picked the Migration Museum at The Workshop as a cultural highlight: “a surprising and intimate look at migration to Britain.”

BBC Two’s Newsnight programme explored the complexities of the term ‘mixed race’ and whether people of a mixed race heritage identify with it, filmed at the Migration Museum at The Workshop and featuring works from our No Turning Back: Seven Migration Moments that Changed Britain exhibition.

‘As Britain stands poised for momentous change that will affect its relationship with the world, the exhibition explores seven key “migration moments” from British history, to show that this is not the first time that the movement of peoples from one place to another has had a profound effect on the country.’

‘On a bright, cold February morning in London, I put on shoes that belonged to perfect strangers and went walking.’

BBC World Service’s The Cultural Frontline featured an interview with Majid Adin, one of the contributors to our No Turning Back: Seven Migration Moments that Changed Britain exhibition.

‘It’s a powerful exhibition that tells these eras through human stories, highlighting how Britain has always been a land of immigrants, and yet has always had a history of anti-immigration sentiment. Another great exhibition from this important museum.’

‘In their new exhibition ‘No Turning Back’, the Migration Museum draws attention to important moments in the history of migrant Britain, asking us to think about what has changed and what has stayed the same in our history.’

‘From the exhibition’s first pinpointed moment in 1290, when the entire Jewish population was expelled from England, to the first East India Company voyage to India in 1607, the project aims to educate on how migration has always existed and been part of a larger conversation within the country.’

No Turning Back ranked #2 on Time Out’s list of the best museum exhibitions in London this autumn.

Barbara Roche, our chair, writing in the Huffington Post, explains why our No Turning Back exhibition encapsulates what the Migration Museum for Britain that we are creating is all about –  providing a cultural space for exploration of how immigration and emigration across the ages has shaped who we are today as individuals, and as a nation.

‘Amid uncertainty about the movement of people to and from the UK following the EU referendum, an exhibition presents pivotal moments in the nation’s migration history.’

‘Desde el pasado mes de abril, el barrio de Lambeth acoge el primer Museo de las Migraciones en el Reino Unido. El Museo de las Migraciones de Londres invita a humanizar el relato sobre los migrantes más allá de la escena política y mediática actual.’

‘What’s often overlooked is the reality of the migrant experience, steeped in ordinariness, and the cultural contributions that different diaspora groups have brought to the U.K. It’s this subject that the first exhibition by the Migration Museum, titled ‘100 Images of Migration’, seeks to show, especially in a post-Brexit country.

‘In the wake of Brexit, a new museum is encouraging visitors to remember their country’s rich migration history.’
