Carrying the Flame, curated by World Heart Beat, celebrates Windrush Day, honouring the cultural legacy of migrants who helped shape post-war Britain with recognition of the African-Caribbean community.

World Heart Beat connects cultures and generations through music—championing global diversity, exceptional artists, and using creativity as a force for unity and human connection.

Carrying the Flame has been developed in collaboration with members of the Windrush community, reflecting the rich cultural fabric of Wandsworth, celebrating a vibrant mix of voices and perspectives to ensure creativity continues to flourish across communities.
