International Roma Day Celebration
with Voice of Roma!
Tuesday, April
2nd
7-9pm
Room 607
"Art, activism & politics of
stereotypes: a "Gypsy Show'"
with Sani Rifati
Please join
us for a talk that will focus on Roma history,
music, and culture. Despite the recent
attention, or even hype, surrounding
the cultural production of the
"Gypsies," vast majority of Roma artists
can barely make a living, let alone
enter the world music stage. Brands
that we usually associate with this
culture, "Gypsy Caravan" and "Gypsy
Spirit", are more often then not far
removed from the actual existing Roma culture
and contexts of racist violence
unfolding in Europe. Come and
celebrate International Roma Day,
in solidarity with Romani struggles
for dignity and internationalism.
