07.02.2014 Photo series about Rroma in Wroclaw

The NZZ currently published a short photo gallery on Rroma in Wroclaw (Breslau), in south-western Poland. The emphatic photo reportage by photographer Adam Lach focuses on the exclusion and marginalization of the Rroma in Eastern Europe. Despite his benevolent perspective, the photographer perpetuates and indirectly disseminates stereotypes about the Rroma, because he focuses exclusively on the impoverished, visible Rroma. That there are also integrated Rroma that do not correspond to the stereotype of poverty is not mentioned here (Lach 2014).
