Queer Roma: We’ve Got the Power!
Sofia Queer Forum
“This is not simply another symbolic gesture. It is a call to rethink and reframe our possibilities and our collective futures specifically aware of the sensitivities and issues of heavily discriminated populations − and creating a space to exchange empowering tools and technologies.”
This is how the catalog of Sofia Queer Forum 2021 begins. The publication includes documentation of the exhibitions at SAMSI, Dose Gallery, Aether Art Space, as well as the performances included in the program, texts by Martina Stefanova and Boryana Rossa, and the discussion “Roma Artists’ Platforms of Expression”.
The publication is bilingual (in Bulgarian and English).
