Photographer Harry Jacobs was a local legend in south London, a documentarian for the Black community who captured weddings, christenings and family portraits, leaving behind an incredible archive of Brixton life in the 1960s and ’70s. To mark Windrush Day on June 22, you can take your portrait at this interactive exhibit using Jacobs’s iconic photo backdrop.
