A musical feast for the Mile Enders'? Music, social inclusion and community engagement in London's East End, c.1890 to the present

我对博士学位和研究的兴趣来自于这个特定的研究领域与我目前的专业和学术兴趣的一致性。我作为创意总监在项目Phakama，总部设在英里结束和女王玛丽的校园，恰当地把我在英里结束在我自己的专业工作的中心，和基于实践的方法，博士允许真实的生活参与东伦敦社区，旁边Phakama的当前和新的社区，重新参与当地人民进入自己的历史，地点和地理景观与讲故事和艺术参与。作为一名孟加拉国女艺术家，我扎根于沃尔瑟姆斯托，但对自己的家庭移民和散居有着强烈的感觉，我为这个职位带来了独特的品质、技能和真实的世界知识。2002年，我在曼彻斯特大学完成了我的综合历史硕士学位，我的论文集中在从19世纪90年代到现在的Sylheti（孟加拉国）lascars/水手的迁移。这个时间框架完全适合我列入这个博士研究奖的背景，因为我已经对当时的文化，政治，社会景观进行了一些研究，特别是关于滨海港区，我坚信它包含了伦敦东区丰富的文化和音乐遗产的重要方面。我有20年的组织，规划，开发和规划项目作为项目经理，艺术总监和音乐艺术家。我有积极参与的强烈精神，多年来，每个项目都需要对研究，严谨和批判性分析的良好发展需求。在我最近委托为北方歌剧发展萨维特里的过程中，对学术论文的研究成为理解萨维特里神话和霍尔斯特作品的核心。在2018年，我承担了谷歌策展的一项任务，我命名为声音旅行，这是英国5位女性作曲家的摄影作品，最终在摄影和叙事的在线展览中达到高潮，我自己的作品/CD/传单现在也包括在哈德斯菲尔德英国音乐收藏馆的存档女性作曲家的音乐收藏中。我在曼彻斯特住了15年，但东伦敦是我出生的地方，也是我现在工作的地方，我想投入和创新，创造一种新的方式来记录，记录，存档，呈现和包括那些历史的声音。无论是从P an O渡轮到滨海港区的档案重新engaing，看看我们可以找到什么音乐记录在这些船只进入伦敦东区，通过试点一个新的项目与一组英国伦敦东区艺术家从广泛的文化背景，这些方法和途径将有助于发展一个强烈的意识，讲故事，但历史记录和档案的发展。我通过各种委员会，但也是我自己的项目苏菲在城市，着眼于移民，散居，教条，女性和精神连接到音乐，文学和艺术，一直在发展对地图和测绘的浓厚兴趣。我通过这个项目创建了一些原型参与式参与工具，以绘制旅程并从中创造艺术成果。我希望这能成为研究的一个重要方面，让我和其他人通过社区环境和参与来行走和探索。与健全的档案和讲故事形成了研究如何处理和disemminated跨研讨会，讲座和演示文稿的核心部分。

My interest in a PHD and study at this point in time comes from an alignment of this particular research area with my own current professional and academic interests. My role as Creative Director at Project Phakama, based in Mile End and on Queen Mary's campus, aptly places me at the centre of Mile End in my own professional work, and the practical based approach to the PHD allows for real life engagement with East London communities, alongside Phakama's current and new communities, re-engaging local people into their own histories, locations and geographical landscapes with storytelling and arts engagement. As a Bangladeshi female artist with roots in Walthamstow but a strong sense of my own familial migration and of diaspora, I bring to the position unique qualities, skills and real world knowledge. In 2002 I completed my MA in Combined History at the University of Manchester, focusing my thesis on the migration of Sylheti (Bangladeshi) lascars/sailors from the 1890's to the present day. This timeframe perfectly suits the context for my inclusion in this doctorate research award, as I have already undertaken some research into the cultural, political, social landscape of that time, with specific reference to the Docklands which I strongly believe contains a central important aspect to the rich cultural and musical heritage of the East End. I have 20 years of organising, planning, developing and planning projects as a project manager, arts director and as musical artist. I have a strong ethos of active participation and over the years each project has required a well developed need for research, rigour and critical analysis. In my recent commission to develop Savitri for Northern Opera, research across academic papers became central to understand the mythologies of Savitri and the works of Holst. In 2018 I undertook a commission for Google Curate which I entitled Sound Travels, a photographic feature of 5 women composers in the UK, culminating in an online exhibition of photography and narrative, my own work/cd/flyers now also included in the Music Collection of archived female composers at the British Music Collection at Heritage Quay, Huddersfield. I lived in Manchester for 15 years but East London is where I was born and where I now work, and I want to input and innovate into the creation of a new way of documenting, recording, archiving, presenting and including those historical voices. Whether that be re-engaing with archives from P an O ferries into the docklands to see what music records we can find on those ships coming into the East End, through to piloting a new project with a group of British East End artists from a wide cultural background, these methods and approaches will assist in developing a strong sense of both storytelling but historical recording and archive development. I have through various commissions but also my own project Sufi in the City which looks at migration, diaspora, dogma, womanhood and spiritual connections to music, literature and art, been developing a keen interest in maps and mapping. I have created some prototype participatory engagement tools through this project to map journeys and create art outcome from them. I would like this to form a strong aspect of the research, allowing myself and others through community settings and engagement to walk and explore. With sound archives and storytelling forming a central part of how research is processed and disemminated across seminars, talks and presentations.
