On 16 October 2025, at the historic National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, BridgeGap Media Ltd documented one of the year’s most meaningful London cultural events; Windrush Food Culture: From the Margins to the Mainstream. It was an evening where Caribbean heritage, community identity, culinary memory, and cultural storytelling came together in a way that felt both intimate and historic.
As a creative media agency in the UK, our goal was not only to film the event but to preserve the emotional essence behind it. What unfolded was more than an event — it was a celebration of migration stories, Caribbean cuisine, intergenerational identity, and community pride.
Event Purpose: Honoring Caribbean Heritage Through Food & Storytelling
The purpose of the Windrush food culture event was deeply rooted in acknowledging the stories of the Windrush generation and celebrating how their food, culture, and creativity have shaped the UK’s culinary identity today.
Through the collaborative efforts of the newly formed National Windrush Museum, the evening aimed to:
- Showcase Caribbean cuisine in the UK
- Celebrate the historical journey of Caribbean migration
- Create space for cultural storytelling and shared experiences
- Amplify voices from the diaspora
- Shift Caribbean food narratives from “margins to mainstream”
This was more than a dinner; it was a moment of cultural elevation.
As a media agency focused on event filming and creative content, BridgeGap Media led by founder Mr. Timi Famojuro look on the important role of capturing these moments with authenticity.
