Studia Romologica

2016

vol. 9

13-18

The subject matter of this introduction to the thematic part of the current issue of “Studia Romologica” is the relation between Roma art and Roma politics, and its main assumption is a conviction that art always has a political dimension while politics is always present in the art. This relation is particularly visible in the field in which agency and identity of social groups are produced, especially of minorities that are not in a position to control the political and aesthetic means of identity expression. Moreover, in the case of Roma those means have been historically involved in discrimination against and stereotypical representation of Roma. In this context, contemporary Roma political and artistic movement can be perceived as an indication of Roma mobility understood as an attempt to go beyond the space designated for Roma by majority and to encounter that majority on its own ground. This attempt subverts the right of the majority to control the discourse in which Roma are represented. Does Roma art exist? What is its political character? Can art be an efficient tool in the struggle for political agency? These questions, among many others, form the core of reflection of the authors who contributed to this issue.

The Author begins with taking note of the phenomenon of the first Roma Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2007) and the preceding exhibition in Budapest: First National Exhibition of Self-taught Roma Artists (1979). These events serve as a background to her essay about the beginning of the Roma artist movement in Poland. The Author writes about Romani Art movement in Poland, initiated in 2007 by Malgorzata Mirga-Tas, which consisted of herself, Bogumila Delimata and Krzysztof Gil, and about the directions taken by the artists in the following years. Author of the article presents one by one artistic activities of Romani Art movement, especially those of Malgorzata Mirga-Tas. It turns out, that the present Roma artist movement in Poland is not only an artistic phenomenon, but a manifestation of the newly born, contextual, modern identity of young Roma elite.
