“We collect writings, sound and images for today and tomorrow, against the denial, slander and Gadjé appropriation of Rromani history.” This sentence, quoted from the self-conception of RomaniPhen, sums up the political claim of the feminist, self-organized Rromani project.
Texts, analyses, points of view and dialogues, from the past and present, are documented, processed and made available here. The content ranges from pop culture to science to activism. For example, the group developed a training workshop for teachers, which analyzes existing educational materials and, in addition to analyzing and criticizing racist stereotypes, develops a “criteria grid against Gadjé racism.
RomaniPhen’s work is deliberately about creating and disseminating “new images” of Romnja* and Sintezza* – and about telling “buried stories not told in public.”
More examples of her work can be found on social media, for example here and here.
