Reclaiming Identity | 40% documentation 60% self-assertion

In recent years, Roma-artists have increasingly been dealing with discrimination against and the image of their culture and ethnic identity projected by others. Between art and activism, they focus on the exclusion and violence which Roma have faced for centuries. A difficult and brave path, one significant aspect of which is to explore the manifold cultural identities. The exhibition provides an overview of visual techniques and activist practices in Roma art that are used to unmask the mechanisms of violence and discrimination.
