Djanes
Romanis that are changing the Ukrainian society
Each one of them believes that he or she can change themselves and the world around them as they try to get themselves ‘plugged into’ the Ukrainian society—be it with human rights activity, modelling, mass media, or politics. Today, we are going to tell the story of Ukrainian Romanis, each of whom is in their own place, doing what they can and what is important, destroying socially imposed markers and proving that Romanis are just the same as anyone else.
«Romanis, same as other minorities, must be involved in the reconstruction of Ukraine»
In Berlin, an International Conference on Reconstruction of Ukraine was held and, as we know, some fifteen hundred NGOs had applied for participation in it. Only seventy of those applications were approved and took part in the event. Three of those are Romani organisations, and one of them is our ARKA. Why was it important to take part in this conference? Let us hear from Volodymyr Yakovenko, Director of ARKA, in his interview for Polish Radio Ukraine.
«Lightweight» videos about heavyweight stereotypes. Why is TikTok full of anti-Gypsyism?
So you say, it is just a fruit of historical development? The usual thing? Oh, and we just do not get jokes, do we? Or maybe this «humour» is really stereotyped and just not funny? For two days, I have been watching this «lightweight» content on Tik Tok, only to have a wave of questions and a hurricane of indignation.
To do list до 30-річчя: вилучіть зі списку пункти про стереотипи та ромофобію
Суспільство тисне звідусіль. І от вже 30 років стали якимось магічним рубежем, до якого потрібно нереально багато встигнути. На цих завищених очікуваннях зіграли й кіношники. А щоб картинка була ще «виразнішою», додали стереотипів. І про ромів у тому числі. Бо що ж то за 30, якщо про «циган» не «пожартувати»?.. Говоримо про доволі популярний серіал «Встигнути до 30».
«Eurovision»: Seeing Romanis in Arts and Outside of Arts
“Eurovision is always accompanied by scandals and accusations of plagiarism. It always involves controversial participants and polarized views of the audience. Despite their declared apolitical and neutral attitude, the participants are looking for an opportunity to voice important issues and draw attention to significant events.
Usyk, Fury, and Romanis: what do they have in common?
Did you watch this epic fight: Usyk versus Fury? Or are you just aware of the result (the Ukrainian won)? Is it «No» to all three questions? Does not matter. After all, what we are going to discuss is the Romani trace in this standoff—which BOTH athletes have.
«What for?» The Tragedy of an Individual and of an Entire Nation in the Gypsy Aza movie
Usually we say that Roma in cinema are portrayed in a caricatured, cardboard and stereotyped way. However, some films allow us to see how prejudice affects both the Roma and the community where they live. We are talking about the movie Gypsy Aza. A disclaimer right away. The word “Gypsies” is used purely to quote the characters. After all, the film takes place in the twentieth century, when tolerant vocabulary was out of the question.
«Роми просто не хочуть вчитися!» Пояснюємо, чому це брехня і стереотип
Discrimination against Roma is, unfortunately, a common phenomenon. And it manifests itself in all spheres. And because of this bias, it is impossible to change the situation for the better.
There are (not) only Romanis in Jazz: How the Roma jazz was born and how it became part of the world
Jazz is always music about unpredictability, improvisation, mosaic of rhythms and motifs. Cultural codes and motifs woven from a mixture of different nationalities and cultural characteristics. Jazz was born in the night pubs and clubs of New Orleans. It was played on the streets or in African lands. Jazz was also heard in Roma camps, on the road, and on the periphery.
