The European Roma Cultural Foundation (ERCF) is an independent non-profit foundation registered on the 2nd of August, 2010, in Budapest, Hungary. ERCF, the operational and fundr

aising body, exists to strengthen and widely promote the role of Roma arts and culture in the enlarging Europe (and beyond) as a way to fight against negative stereotypes and hostile attitudes towards Roma communities. For a future world of artistic and cultural diversity where Roma arts, culture, history and language are equally valued and respected, and the power of artistic creation and education, especially that of young people, is essential for changing negative stereotypes towards people of Roma origin in the enlarging Europe and beyond. Gallery8 is strategically located at Mátyás tér, the center of Budapest's 8th district, the area of the city, which is mostly populated by Roma inhabitants. Gallery8 aims to serve the Roma community: it aims to enable and support the production, presentation and interpretation of Roma artworks. It is envisioned as an intercultural space, where the experimentation, creation, collaboration, and discussion between Roma and non-Roma could take place and result in new works and solutions for a future in peaceful coexistence. Gallery8 wishes to put emphasis on investing in the capacities of young Roma artists, presenters, managers and entrepreneurs to help them to succeed, to learn, to be accepted positively by broad audiences, to become more knowledgeable and actively engaged in networking and collaboration in Europe and beyond. Gallery 8 aims to motivate the development of innovative projects and experimental cross-disciplinary work of young Roma. It shall be the space of new ideas, discourses, and trends in Roma contemporary art. MAGYAR NYELVŰ LEÍRÁS


A Gallery8 – Roma Kortárs Művészeti Teret az Európai Roma Kulturális Alapítvány (ERCF) hozta létre. (http://www.romacult.org)

Az Európai Roma Kulturális Alapítvány (European Roma Cultural Foundation – ERCF) független, 2010. augusztus 2-án Budapesten bejegyzett non-profit szervezet. Az ERCF a roma közösségekhez fűződő negatív sztereotípiák és előítéletek leküzdését a roma művészet és kultúra megfelelő reprezentálásában és erősítésében látja. Alapítványunk egy olyan, művészetileg és kulturálisan sokszínű jövő érdekében tevékenykedik, amelyben a roma művészet, kultúra, történelem és nyelv (a többségi társadaloméval) egyenlő mértékben értékes és fontos, és amelyben a művészeti kreativitás és oktatás ereje – elsősorban a fiatalság körében – kulcsszereppel bír a romákhoz fűződő negatív sztereotípiák megváltoztatásában az egyre szélesedő európai térben és azon túl. A Gallery8 a Mátyás téren található, Budapest 8. kerületének szívében, vagyis a fővárosnak túlnyomórészt romák által lakott részén. A Gallery8 célja, hogy a roma közösséget támogassa: a roma művészeti munkák alkotását, prezentálását és interpretálását szeretné lehetővé tenni és segíteni. Galériánkat – egyéb projektjeinkhez hasonlóan – egy valódi interkulturális térként képzeljük el, ahol a romák és nem-romák közti kísérletezés, kreativitás, együttműködés, eszmecsere helyet kaphatna, új alkotásokat és megoldásokat eredményezve ezzel egy jövőbeni békés együttélés érdekében. A Gallery8 fiatal roma művészek, művészeti projekt-vezetők, menedzserek és vállalkozók képességére, tevékenységére alapozva törekszik segíteni azokat, hogy ezáltal sikeressé válhassanak, tanulhassanak, hogy pozitívan fogadja őket a befogadó közönség, hogy elismertebbé váljanak, hogy aktívan tudjanak kapcsolatokat építeni és együttműködni más szervezetekkel Európában és Európán kívül. A Gallery8 célja, hogy fiatal romák innovatív projektjeit és kísérleti jellegű, interdiszciplináris munkáinak kidolgozását segítse elő. Reményeink szerint a Gallery8 olyan térré válik majd, melyben a roma kortárs művészet legújabb gondolatai, diskurzusai, trendjei kellőképpen kibontakozhatnak.

The European Roma Cultural Foundation mourns the passing of Tony Gatlif Tony Gatlif, one of the most consequential filmmakers in Roma cultural history.

Through films including Latcho Drom, Gadjo Dilo, Les Princes, Vengo and Exils, Gatlif transformed the cinematic representation of Roma lives, histories and cultures. At a time when Roma were overwhelmingly seen through images produced by others, his cinema created a radically different visual language , one shaped by Roma presence, music, movement, humour, desire, displacement and resistance.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, collaborators, and to the many communities across the world for whom his work has carried such profound meaning.

We have lost an extraordinary filmmaker and an irreplaceable voice.

Latcho drom, Tony Gatlif. ❤️
