Developed by UMCOLETIVO – Associação Cultural in partnership with the Romani association Sílaba Dinâmica, the project involves working directly with children and young people from the José Régio school cluster, the Portalegrense Workers Cooperative, the Portalegre Polytechnic Institute and Banda Euterpe, as well as artists from different disciplines carrying out residencies in the area. The challenge of creating this museum involved getting to know the history of the Roma and seeking out the intimacy of each piece, made by invited artists, to find the link necessary for extensive and deep reflection, breaking down prejudices associated with the term Romani.
Project supported under the 2nd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
