This screening of a documentary film, Belonging, Consumption and Place, by Dr Marta Rabikowska and Matthew Hawkins about the community of Plumstead, will be accompanied by a discussion of the exciting creative potential of the local area.
Belonging, Consumption and Place, won the First Jury Award at the Film Festival, organised by the Association of Consumer Research in Milan, June 2007.
Marta Rabikowska is a Senior Lecturer in Media and Advertising at the University of East London: www.advertising.edu.co.uk. Her research is focused on problems of displacement, ethnicity, and migration. She writes on the relationship between place and people. Her publications have been lately concentrated on micro-worlds and material lives among different ethnic groups, with special attention to ritualisation of consumption and “making health”. Her methodology includes visual ethnography, particularly documentary making and autoethnography. While she draws upon phenomenology, she is committed to cultural studies and her activist approach manifests through the close co-operation with the local communities in South East London http://katarakta.livejournal.com/. Her commitment has taken the shape of a longitudinal study, using video and participant observation, of one community in South East London. Her feature length documentary about that community has won the Jury Prize at the Film Festival in Milan (University of Milan), organised by the Association of Consumer Research in July 2007. Her other documentary films are devoted to the observation of integration processes among different religious formations in the urban environment.
