So for my first project i was told to research everything i could about the street "Bricklane". As an iconic place in london, its full of culture and history to delve into, such as the 1999 nail bombing, its many famous curry houses, and the ever shifting cultures that come to inhabit it, which have been local brits, the jewish peoples and today the bangladeshi community, for which its nick name is banglatown.
Ive also found out that it has a massive amount of vintage and charity shops, as well as its market which attracts the students of the city of london looking to sell their wares. The street has become a large scene for artists and fashionistas, again mainly because of the market and vintage shops, the deals they offer are highly sought after by students on a budget. (I should know, im a proper little deal finder)
This week im going down to do some street drawing, aybe find a few deals, try the food and ask about in the shops to see if i can find any more info about the street.
