FINISSAGE

 

To mark the closure of the 4th Roma exhibition in Venice, ERIAC organized a debate with outstanding Roma women scholars, to discuss how performative strategies of resistance look like in the fields of the arts, scholarship and activism.
The finissage event of Eugen Raportoru: The Abduction from the Seraglio & Roma Women: Performative Strategies of Resistance, took place at Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in the presence of artist Eugen Raportoru, curator Ilina Schileru and a discussion moderated by ERIAC Deputy Director Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka.
 

DEBATE: “Roma Women Strategies of Resistance: Healing the Past, Performing the Future”

The site-specific installations of Eugen Raportoru’s “The Abduction from the Seraglio” created a space to meditate on the position in which Roma women find themselves, examining how Roma women confront racism and patriarchy by employing different strategies of resistance.
