Portugal and Roma

DJ Jorge Syllvah performed at the National Gypsy People’s Day in Lisbon, highlighting the challenges faced by the Roma community in Portugal, including racism and discrimination.

The rise of the far-right party Chega has intensified xenophobic rhetoric against the Roma, leading to increased public discrimination and a push for community organization and activism.

Despite historical marginalization, the Roma community in Portugal is gaining visibility and representation, with recent legal victories against hate speech and a growing presence in education and political activism.

The traveling exhibition “Viagem Cigana” was inaugurated in Fornelos, Portugal, aimed at combating stereotypes and promoting knowledge about the Roma community.

The outdoor exhibition features 20 panels showcasing the origins of the Roma people, their arrival in Portugal, aspects of their culture, and testimonies of integration in the labor market.

The exhibition will continue to various locations before concluding in October in the city center, where collected testimonies will be presented.

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.
