Representation

From March 6 to 29, 2026, BLECH, Kunstraum Halle e.V., will present the exhibition “In Search of Eldorado – Roma and Sinti in the Struggle for Representation.” It will feature photographs by the artist Nihad Nino Pušija, who has been photographically exploring the lives of members of the Roma community for more than 30 years.

Sinti and Roma are considered one of the most marginalized population groups in Europe. Their public perception is still often shaped by stereotypical imagery. According to the organizers, there is a continued lack of spaces for self-determined cultural representation and nuanced visibility. Pušija’s photographic work aims to foster a more complex and self-determined perspective on Sinti and Roma.
