The exhibition features works by Roma artists, including Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, who highlights the struggles of Roma women against discrimination, and Selma Selman, who critiques societal exclusion through performance art. The exhibition emphasizes the importance of collective action and social justice, linking historical labor struggles to contemporary issues of marginalization and identity loss.

]]> Hamburg: Graves Desecrated https://rroma.org/hamburg-graves-desecrated/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hamburg-graves-desecrated Thu, 06 Feb 2025 07:48:16 +0000 https://rroma.org/?p=27017 Unknown perpetrators have desecrated graves of Sinti and Roma in a cemetery in the Altona district of Hamburg. Graves were damaged and materials such as copper were stolen. According to the Sinti Association of Hamburg, a gravestone was even sawn into pieces. In a joint statement, all parties in Altona City Hall, except for the AfD, (surprise?) condemned the acts. The public prosecutor’s office is investigating.

Well, we knew where we stand.
