Brick Lane. Multi-culture. Mix of cultures.
Library, taking books off the shelves. The more you read the moreyou discover
that what you thought you knew well is just the beginning of an abyss of exciting
information yet to be discovered. One book concerns Indian, another one is
about the Bengalis. You discover that the previous “tenants” of
Brick Lane were the Jews and before them the Huguenots. People who came to
Brick Lane bringing an unusual suitcase; it is not a suitcase that carries
clothes and a toothbrush. It is a suitcase that contains clothes that are
different and colorful, it contains spices and flashy jewellery. Musical
instruments and bittersweet melodies. Melodies
that speak about countries left behind, love
stories
left incomplete and families that are far away.
A market, a meeting point for past and present.
