A research team at the University of Vienna
Sedimented Visions team member visited the 6th International Festival of Romani Film AKE DIKHEA? taking place each year in December in Berlin. The festival’s name “AKE DIKHEA?” means “YOU SEE?” in Romanes, and posters could be seen all over the city with the distinct eye—the artwork of renowned Romani artist Damian Le Bas.
Evgenija Filova was part of the Winter School Symposium at the Tanzquartier Wien, bringing together theory and practice in performance and dance with a focus on Central and South-East Europe. Evgenija presented her research on antigypsyism in performance art in the Balkans, analyzing patterns of representation and challenging historical narratives in the cultural sector which have constructed and supported the production of stereotypes about Roma, reinforcing antigypsyism.
Geoffrey Aung participated in a workshop for ongoing writing projects at the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) in Potsdam, Germany. He presented a proposal for his draft book manuscript, provisionally titled “Slow Fires: Logistical Politics on a Capitalist Frontier.”
