Tamara Stoll is an artist and photographer who lives and works in Hackney. Her studio is located in the Shopping Village, a building situated kind of mid way down Ridley Road Market. The building hosts a number of shops on the ground level, around 60 artists on the second and third floor as well as storage spaces in the basement to accomodate for traders’ stock.
In this short film, using her newly published book about Ridley Road Market as a guide, Tamara
takes us on a short trip about the history of the market and its people.
She also tells us how this unique place and its history might be about to change in the light of the planned refurbishment of the Shopping Village and other changes to the market which she things might affect in a negative way the market, the traders and the artists who make Ridley Road Market a community where people can feel at home.
