Exhibition Opening Invitation
A Spitalfields Life exhibition
The CURRY CHEFS OF BRICK LANE
Photographic portraits by Jeremy Freedman

You're Invited

Exhibition Opening: Thursday 23 February / 6pm – 8pm / Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road / Shoreditch / Rsvp pippa.murray@richmix.org.uk

Situated at the top of Brick Lane, Rich Mix arts centre will play host to an exciting new exhibition that celebrates the unseen and unsung heroes of Brick Lane’s Curry Mile.

In 2010 and 2011, East End culture blog www.spitalfieldslife.com published a series of portraits of the curry chefs of Brick Lane, telling the stories of these award-winning chefs accompanied with vibrant images by the prolific street photographer Jeremy Freedman. And the result is a distinguished body of portraiture, recording some of leading culinary personalities of the Bengali community in Brick Lane.

This exhibition is a celebration of these proud chefs - "working away like those engineers below deck on the great steam ships of old, they are the unseen and unsung heroes of Brick Lane’s Curry Mile."  These are the previously unseen faces and untold stories that reveal the personal narratives of Spitalfields’ Bengali residents.

The Brick Lane chefs and restaurants featured in the exhibition will put their usual friendly rivalry aside for the exhibition’s opening night on Thursday 23 February where they will present guests with their signature dishes. 

Please rsvp to pippa.murray@richmix.org.uk to attend the opening.

The free exhibition is open to the public from Friday 24 February to Saturday 31 March from 10am till close.
