Artist talk on the 3rd Phase of the 2nd Roma Biennale. The theme of this phase is ‘Survival’ reflecting on and starting with World Migrants and Refugees Day. This day celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home countries to escape conflict or persecution. Romani lives have also been linked to flight and displacement for centuries. Yet in the current mainstream political discourse, Roma are denied the status of refugees, labelled as “economic refugees” and accused of deliberately abusing the welfare system. Join us to discuss these topics, and the artworks created in relation to this theme with:
