The Mythologies Of Brick Lane

Brick Lane currently dominated by the Bangladeshi community obtains the 'status of myth'. The very first settler whom were the Huguenot settlers in the 15th Century laid their mark which is identified as a 'type of speech' A speech of which is called a 'myth' or in other words a 'message' specific to the nature of site and its history. Barthes states that '...it is human history which converts reality into speech, and it alone rules the life and death of mythical language.'

The myth is essentially a pattern; the current Brick Lane would not be described as a myth without its history. An exploration in defining various myths will unraval the untold stories starting with a nugget of short films which will expose and construct the myths and we will then begin to see the layers underneath.
