Roma Empowerment Through Heritage - part 1

Jani Lang 07 November 2022

In 2021 Ando Glaso teamed up with the National Library of Scotland to embark on a year long project. Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund they approached members of the various Roma communities around Scotland and asked them to share with us what Roma culture and heritage means to them. Participants created their own contributions that will be archived in the National Library of Scotland. The collected material will also be available on OPA! as we will keep uploading them over the following weeks. Please enjoy the first series of videos:
