Multimedia installation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to interrogate the stereotypical mentality and social segregation resulting from prejudice in the Romanian territory towards Roma women, starting from clothing expression and cultural appropriation of a heritage by mass consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People photographed are born and work in Romania in different domains like medicine, police, music or political sciences. The picture uses an inauthentic and exoticizing \u201cgypsy\u201d textile material that emphasizes ignorant cliche assumptions from the collective imaginary machine about the history of the protagonists, highlighting their daily experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project unweaves the mechanism of prejudices and challenges the stereotypical generalization bringing to the fore daily experiences of these girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video The machinery of stereotyping is rigid and persistent, it creates a protective veil of ignorance based on imaginary assumptions. Sound translation below \u2193<\/a>

Denise Lobon\u021b<\/strong>  (b. 1995, Deva) is a graduate of the bachelor\u2019s degree within the Photo-Video Section at the Bucharest National University of Arts in 2017. During the academic period, she received a scholarship from a partner university in France and the period after the bachelor\u2019s degree has been completed by an internship in Paris for 5 months in a photo studio. Currently she has just completed her master\u2019s programme in the same section. Themes that interest her are ethnical minorities, gender identity and fashion in the social context.
