Urban Fieldwork:
The Foodscape of Peckham
Earth Buffet
Peckham, in southeast London, became an immigrant hub in the late 20th century, attracting people mainly from the Caribbean (Jamaica, Barbados) and West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), as well as some from Eastern Europe and South Asia. The streets are lined with shops offering spices, fruits, and dry goods like cassava, fufu, green papaya, and salt cod, alongside restaurants serving dishes such as Jollof rice, Egusi soup, and Pounded yam.
In this event, we will explore Peckham together, observing the selection of ingredients, spatial layout, and signage design of the shops, as well as the behaviors and interactions of shop owners and customers, which will be documented in our field notes. Each participant will also purchase a unique ingredient and share their discoveries during the final discussion.
城市田野：
伦敦Peckham 食物景观漫步
远地食堂
佩卡姆（Peckham）位于伦敦的东南部，在20世纪后期逐渐成为移民聚居区。这些移民主要来自加勒比（牙买加、巴巴多斯）和西非（尼日利亚、加纳）地区，也有部分来自东欧和南亚。在 Peckham 沿街的店铺中，你可以找到来自不同地区的香料、蔬果、干货——西非荔枝果、木薯、Fufu、青木瓜、盐鳕鱼…… 沿街的餐吧中，你也可以找到一些制作好的菜肴——Jollof rice（加洛夫饭）、Egusi 海鲜汤、Pounded yam（山药泥）、Waakye（豆子饭）……
此次活动我们将一同探访佩卡姆，观察店铺的食材选择、空间布局标识设计；店主、顾客的行为习惯、互动方式，通过田野笔记记录下来。每位参与者还将购买一件独特的食材，并在最终讨论中交换自己的发现。
