"Shukar! Contemporary Art by Hungarian Roma Women" Exhibition |
|
2010. February 17. |
The Roma (Gypsies) are Hungary’s largest ethnic minority counting
more than one million people. Until the second half of the 20th
century, the representation of Gypsy art was the exclusive monopoly of
non-Roma, defined usually as “folk art” or “naïve art.” SHUKAR!
presents a contemporary Roma art that is hardly naïve. Rather, it is
critical, political, and above all, painterly.
The works in SHUKAR!
reflect upon the social role of women and their double-minority
position in the Hungarian Roma community. Theses paintings are at once
provocative and beautiful, asking viewers to reconsider the role of
Roma women and Roma contemporary art.
