Through portraits and stories of twenty professionals from the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities, “Testament” reveals their talent and commitment in their respective fields. However, the exhibition of photographs by Arben Llapashtica, curated by Eliza Hoxha, also radiates the power to challenge stereotypes and build a reality where diversity and equality exist.

In an effort to bring powerful and authentic stories from the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities closer to the public, the “Testament” exhibition will open at the Mitrovica Museum on Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Czechia and Minorities

Czechia and Minorities

Martin Kanaloš has been writing since childhood, but only recently introduced himself with his debut novel. The book Me, Tran and Everything Else tells the story of two teenagers, half Roma and half Vietnamese, from a housing estate.

“They experience various troubles on the outskirts of the city, in a housing estate,” added Kanaloš. They feel that life is slipping through their fingers, unlike their classmates from a small-town high school, until they show up at a fancy party as uninvited guests. They also have a diverse ethnic background in common: Dezi is half Romani and Tran is half Vietnamese. Kanaloš talks about what it’s like not to fit in in the Czech Republic, mixing social realism with black humour. “I have Romani, Hungarian, Ukrainian ancestors. And because I’ve been focusing on Romani issues for the past few years, I chose the Romani theme for this book as well,” the writer explained. The character of Tran is said to be loosely inspired by his friend.

Khamoro Festival Volunteers

Twelve ROMEA scholarship holders participated in the organization of the World Roma Festival Khamoro this year as part of the educational program “Khamoro shares experiences”, organized by Slovo 21. They helped with production, communication with guests, and documentation of events. In the process, they gained valuable experience, strengthened their self-confidence and pride in their own identity. They also shared their impressions on stage during the final gala concert, and Denisa Hamáčková’s vlog captures the process of their involvement.
