Method 'Video interviews'

This creative methodology involves conducting video interviews within street markets to capture the perspectives of traders and shoppers through a dialogic approach. It serves to document various forms of displacement, challenges related to rent increases, reductions in market provision, community changes, and the impacts of land speculation on a micro level. This approach is particularly effective for understanding the diverse views on market dynamics and the effects of policy decisions on traditional street markets. It is most helpful when a visual and narrative snapshot of a specific context is needed to understand complex social and economic interactions. It is less helpful when communities are resistant to being filmed due to concerns over gentrification and its potential consequences.
