[Roma_Francais] Ferdinand Koci in support of European Roma Institute: We fight for life with culture. We fight for life with art. We fight for life wi

  I am an artist and I produce culture.

   We Roma never created wars, but we fight for life with life. We fight for life with culture. We fight for life with art. We fight for life with love. We fight for life with music. We fight for life with our resistance for centuries. We fight for life with our dignity. We don’t fight for territories, nor for a country. But we want an institution to show our visibility that we belong to this society and we belong to European Union.

   As a Roma artist I want to express my full support for this great initiative, the establishment of European Roma Institute. I believe that with the support of Roma intellectuals, activists, artists, historians etc we will make a very great change in the field of Roma art, culture and history, and that this will be a rich contribution to the European Union`s Identity.

   We create culture with our culture. We want to teach life to the society where we live. But there is still a problem of ignoring our culture, of not giving the positions that it deserves to be cultivated and institutionalized.

   There was always a need of an institution which will document our cultural heritage, and many Roma activists mentioned the need of such institution uniting Roma in culture and identity. Here comes the opportunity of supporting this great initiative which will be a sign of a new epoch for Roma people. I am sure and I strongly believe in the power of art and culture, because this is the most powerful language, the language which breaks stereotypes and makes strong and unbreakable relationships between the societies.

Sincerely,

London, UK
