On Sunday, October 19 in Nijmegen the performance Romanistan, accompanied by a fringe program featuring a photo exhibition and podcast series will be held.
“Fear turns people who could also be your friends into enemies,” says Carla Hardy, the project’s director. “I want to make tangible the consequences of stigmatization and polarization. How long will we perpetuate stereotypes instead of truly delving into this history?”
In the performance Romanistan, three young artists explore what it means to be Roma. At the same time, it is a plea to view history not simply as a past, but as a living and contemporary story, residing in the bodies of the new generation who are searching for a right to exist and recognition without having to hide or deny their identity.
