DESCRIPTION:Berlin has consistently played a crucial role in the cultural a
	nd social life of the Roma diaspora and\, at the same time\, Roma had also
	 made a significant impact on the history of the German capital. However\,
	 limited initiatives have addressed the intertwined cultural history of Ro
	ma and Berlin.\n\n \n\nThe Berlin Tales exhibition unveils the cultural hi
	story of Berlin – a narrative that remains largely unknown\, concealed\, a
	nd suppressed yet simultaneously boasts a beautifully rich genealogy. The 
	exhibition showcases key moments and significant contributions made by Rom
	a to Berlin\, and influencing German and European culture since the 1970s 
	to the present day.\n\n \n\nThe Berlin Tales exhibition\, along with its a
	ssociated events including concerts\, performances\, and discussions\, ill
	ustrates the enduring and substantial cultural\, social\, and political pr
	esence of Roma in Berlin — both as artists and as an audience. The narrati
	ve reveals a potent counterculture that collaborates with other peripherie
	s\, aiming to challenge racist representations and combat stereotypical\, 
	homogenized depictions of minorities prevalent in mainstream media and soc
	iety at large. The display also highlights the boundless creativity of con
	temporary artists\, performers\, and musicians of Roma origin. All contrib
	uting artists\, while of diverse nationalities and personal stories\, deve
	loped deep connections to Berlin´s cultural landscape. These individuals c
	ontemplate alternative modes of self-determination and self-representation
	\, inventing new means to narrate the Roma “tale” with the vision to empow
	er and “strike back”—to assert complete control and halt the escalation of
	 contradictions and conflicts within and outside Roma communities. They as
	pire to envision and create a peaceful and prosperous future for all.\n\nR
