Adhocism

This project is an initiation of Xiki, Xi, Brook and Mocha. As CSM MA students from various fields, each has a different understanding and angle of dissecting their own observations as well as other’s. This project focuses on the Adhoc behaviour people adopt with their evolving needs. A passer’s observation further led into deeper understanding of these behaviours which are extremely subject to context and some catergorizable. This is a diary of some everyday adhoc behaviours from around us.

Adhocism.

A poster of Prince Harry at an 'Indian Restaurant' owned by Bangladeshis in Brick Lane, London. 

This was in my first month of coming to london, when I was craving for Indian Food! So me and 3other friends decided to go to Brick Lane.

Funny thing- there were posters of Prince Harry and Prince William and the Duchess! In an INDIAN restaurant owned by a few BANGLADESHI people. Indians and Bangladeshis and Pakistanis tend to look almost similar. Since we are all 'brown'
