RomaMoMA Street Festival

lumbung member OFF-Biennale Budapest presents the RomaMoMA Street Festival. A workshop with Daniel Baker on the secret sign language of nomadic Roma people will be followed by a film screening and music by DJ Lazlorrobot.

RomaMoMA is a long-term collaborative project of lumbung member OFF-Biennale Budapest with the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC). It showcases artworks in relation to the idea, question, and (im)possibilities of a “RomaMoMA” (Roma Museum of Contemporary Art). The exhibition presents the untold past and the unfolding present of Roma artists through their artworks and storytelling. Older and younger generations of artists and their differing artistic positions will be highlighted through an installation that both constructs and deconstructs the idea of a “RomaMoMA” as an imaginary, transnational space for the presentation of artworks.

Film program:

• Doja, a cigánytündér (Doja, the Gipsy* Fairy; animation)
• A cigányasszony meg az ördög (The Gipsy* Woman and the Devil; animation)
• Káló, a cigánylegény (Kalo, the Gipsy* lad; animation)
• Latcho Drom (documentary) In collaboration with Streetbolzer e.V. and Schlachthof Kassel.

* The term cigány (Gipsy) is used deliberatly by the artists
