This compelling documentary theater play, Named Voices, examines the German Nazi genocide of Roma in Ukraine during the 1940s and the ongoing experiences of Roma communities under Russia’s current war against Ukraine. The film interweaves stories of Roma people affected by WWII, connecting their past and present struggles. Produced by the Agency for the Advocacy of Roma Culture ARCA in collaboration with the Inclusive Theatre Association ART-PLAYBACK, the film draws upon ARCA's archives and interviews with Roma provided by the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies. Following the screening, join Nataliia Tomenko, Roma activist and cultural heritage expert, and Lesia Pagulich, Ukrainian gender studies scholar, for a conversation on how histories of violence shape new understandings of care, solidarity, and healing. The film is in Ukrainian with English subtitles (78 min).
