Culture and Heritage Project 2025

DCFA was commissioned to deliver a one-off event before the end of March 2025, focused on pop-up exhibitions exploring the cultural and industrial history of Dudley from 1950 to 1970. The research highlighted key industries that provided employment post-World War II, particularly for Caribbean migrants in the Black Country.

A key part of the project involved collecting first-hand stories from 20 members of the local Reconnect Befriending group, most of whom belong to the Windrush generation (aged 80-95). These interviews captured valuable experiences of life and work in the area during this period.
