About
This iconic street became the heart of a fledgling community in the 1960s. The first of a series of photos and video interviews captures the narratives of the migration journey. They record the complexities of transition to east London and how it shaped their lives. The photographs celebrate the ordinary men and women who have helped make Brick Lane the extraordinary community it is today. This project documents a unique time and place, capturing the last of those voices as a legacy of our recent past.
Kois Miah is a London based British Bangladeshi photographer and film maker. His primary projects combine photography/film with community participation. He has a personal connection with the cityscape and communities living and working in East London.
As this is a window display it is free to view 24 hours a day.
