Windrush Stories
The Real Selfie Project is a collaboration between photographer Rafael Hortala-Vallve (autofoto.org) and filmmaker Nick Francis (speakit.org). Using an analogue photobooth from the 1970s as their camera of choice, the duo capture portraits and collect personal stories of people living in London. The images and stories in this book were captured at Hackney’s annual celebration of the Windrush generation at Stoke Newington Town Hall on June 22nd 2019. With thanks to Ali Elisa, Learning & Participation Manager at Autograph ABP Gallery, and Petra Roberts, Cultural Development Manager at Hackney Council. Follow us on Instagram @therealselfieproject
