Art and Memory – and the Future

October 21, 2021
Alfred Ullrich’s pictures are irritating. Is this abstract art, or are they floral patterns, wallpapers, curtains? What is this? Moreover, what does this have to do with the culture of the Roma, to which the exhibition Art and Healing at the Schafhof European Centre for Art Upper Bavaria is dedicated, and in which, among others,...

Yesterday Can Tell Us a Lot About Tomorrow

October 14, 2021
The 2014 exhibition, Tajsa, which I curated together with Katarzyna Roj, presented me with a great challenge. Up to that point, I had been putting on humble independent shows in places that did not have the status of a public institution. In my world, everything happened in real time: there was no long-term project schedule,...

Reinventing the Romani wheel: a visual essay on the history of Rom*nja under socialist rule

October 7, 2021
Blue on the top, green on the bottom, a red star in the centre. At first glance, the poster for the exhibition, Manuš heißt Mensch – Manuš means human, seems to aim for a clear connection to the Romani flag, and therefore a perspective on Romani activism and politics. On closer examination, however, the question...

ADJACENT : RomaMoMA Nomadic Library display at Vulnerable Archives, SAVVY Contemporary

The ADJACENT design concept marries the barcode of a book from the RomaMoMA Nomadic Library with a functional object.

Thinking and Building through Roma Positionality

September 16, 2021
Even as I sit to write this short piece, I seek to find my voice through writing. For me, as a Romani woman, writing has become one of those forms that have allowed me to tell the history of anti-Roma Europe: the unspoken history. The embedded European racial terror against Roma and other racialised people...

A Museum of Connections

September 10, 2021
In my consideration for RomaMoMA, I have chosen an entire exhibition, Art and Healing – A Roma Contribution for Europe, currently on view at Schafhof: the European Center for Art Upper Bavaria. To choose a singular artwork would not fairly represent the wide range of works homogenised by the term ‘Roma Art’. This exhibition is...

Owning the Game: Intersectional Self-Representation in the Roma LGBTQ+ Communities

September 2, 2021
Introduction Representation matters. The great majority of those who will not feel the weight of this are those who do not suffer its absence. It is truly difficult to explain this type of absence to those who see themselves everywhere – in magazine columns, on the TV, and even in exhibition spaces. Nor is it...
