Gipsy by Roman Sustainability Actions

Mapped Romani sites and history

MAPPING OF GYSPY SITES AND HISTORY: The key objectives for this WP will be to gather and collate up-to-date information on the sites that are of importance to Romani culture and history (for the purposes of deciding where to site the sculpture and events) and recorded sustainability practices. Much of this information currently remains unrecorded but is part of Romani oral history.

Held go-along interviews

GO-ALONG INTERVIEWS (n120 in total, 40 per location): The go-along method can generate rich understandings while leveraging embodied understanding, participant empowerment, rapport-building and disclosure of connections with environments. The interviewers and film maker will be ‘walked through’ the participants’ lived experiences that relate to the local area, sustainability practices and artistic traditions.

Organised group reflections

GROUP REFLECTION (n150 in total – 5 groups per location): These will be informal group meetings with local Romani groups. The key task will be to reflect on the current and historical contribution of Romani communities to sustainability and the form and content of the statue and dance events that will represent this. The Romani community partners (FFT, HG, AG) and local HE researchers will jointly organise and facilitate.

Created sculpture and events

CREATING THE SCULPTURE AND DANCE EVENTS: The sculpture, music and dances will be unveiled at three public events (Susses, Lanarkshire and Almería) and captured by mainstream media through which key messages can be disseminated. Scrap metal objects will be upcycled using forged steel elements to produce works of sustainable art.

Produced a film

CREATING THE FILM: The film will capture the making of the sculpture, music and dances to highlight the traditional sustainable crafts of Roma and Romany Gypsies. It will also capture individual interviews with members of the community who want to speak on their sustainability practices, relationship with nature, relevant environmental history of the land etc.
