Cooperation with the Roma Parliament Our cooperation started
with the Roma Parliament when Emese Süvecz was invited to curate
an exhibiton with roma women artists. The Roma Parliament is the culture
center of the Hungarian Roma community. It runs a gallery (Balázs
János Gallery) and has a collection of 800 artworks made by roma
artists. Roma Parliament works isolated from the official Hungarian
culture, its activity and members are invisible in the Budapest cultural
sphere. For community building purposes, the gallery organizes a workshop
for roma artists each summer. KMKK built up a flourishing contact with
Timea Junghaus, the curator of the gallery. Her curatorial conception
was to invite mainstream Hungarian artists to the workshop, so that
Miklós Erhardt, Róza El-Hassan, János Sugár
and Emese Süvecz could participate in 2003. |
