Roma Routes Final Conference in Heidelberg, Germany - March 15, 2012
Over the last two years the Roma Routes pilot project drew together organizations from across Europe to establish a series of events celebrating Roma culture and heritage. This project increased the knowledge of people in Europe about Roma history, culture, values and lifestyle. It encouraged the contribution of Roma to Europe’s cultural life and established links between culture and heritage institutions and Roma groups across Europe. The aim of the final conference in Heidelberg is to review the achievements of the project and to look to the future. We hope to increase links with people, groups and organizations active in this field and to further the realization of a Route of Roma Culture and Heritage.

Roma Hiphop Conference
March 9-10, 2012
Hungarian Roma Parliament, Theatre Hall (H-1084, Budapest, Tavaszmező u. 6)
No entrance fee / The conference is open to the public / English presentations
The European Roma Cultural Foundation – ERCF in partnership with Romano Hangos (Czech Republic), The Gypsy Internet Radio (Slovakia), and Eastern Initiative Institute (Poland) curated a web archive: www.romahiphoparchive.org built on the applications submitted for the Open Call announced in The Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. Hiphop has become an uncompromising prism for critique, social and political analysis and representation of marginalized and underrepresented communities throughout the world. It is now 30 years since its entrance onto the urban landscape and hiphop continues to be supported, protected and scrutinized by the Roma. This initiative aims to present the history of Roma hiphop and to point out how Roma hiphop became one of the arenas for the fight for equality, for Roma confidence and positive self-image. >>> |
