The Gypsy and Traveller contribution to the English Folk tradition will be recognised at a free Education Development Day on 15th November at the University of East Anglia in Norwich.
Hazel Marsh and Dr Esbjörn Wettermark introduced the Gypsy & Traveller Voices in Archives project at the ACERT Conference in February. Here they are joined by Candy Sheridan and Gloria Buckley in a day of activities.
Rosemarie Cisneros co-created an exhibition called IMPORT AND EXPORT with Roma young people in Sheffield. There were secondary schools involved and is a great example of what is possible when schools support and create space for new ways of thinking about Roma pride and climate justice.
The exhibition was supported by the University of Sheffield’s Centre for Equity and Inclusion and the Romani Cultural & Arts Company as part of the GM6 Programme.
The exhibition includes a screendance work that is part of a trilogy linked to climate justice. The film is called OCEAN: Import & Export.
Rosa would be happy to speak with any schools or individuals to think about ways of reusing the work or expanding on the exhibition.
