Camden Markets: Life Between The Stalls
Part of a multi-platform documentary project revolving around the theme of community. The vibrant Camden Markets in North London have been in existence for over 40 years, supporting independent traders who prefer to do business in a more traditional and personal way. Camden is home to a historically notorious sub culture and lively community. Camden Markets and the eccentric community of workers within them are integral to the unique identity of the area. Gentrification of local markets in London as well as nationally is becoming prevalent, and Camden Markets is the latest victim. During the course of shooting this documentary, a large part of the markets was closed down and demolished. This project documents the markets at a historic time when the future of the markets and its community is unknown. With the livelihoods of the stall traders and the existence of the market’s family-like community at risk, this project focuses on those who will be most impacted by the gentrification of Camden Markets: the independent traders. This short photo film is told from the perspective of the traders. A solo project with post-production audio by Jack Bartley. With special thanks to the stall traders at Camden Markets.
