Ceija Stojka - A Roma Artist in the Century

Ceija Stojka and Antoine de Galbert

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot: Audiobook:

Ceija Stojka was the first Romani woman to survive the death camps (WWII) and bear witness, to speak out against denial and forgetting, and against the anti-Romani racism pervasive in Austria, and in Europe. The ensemble she left at her death in 2013 is like a giant journal without a chronology in which paintings and writings combine to evoke the nightmarish experience of a child who lived through the 'Samudaripen', or Romani genocide. This exhibition catalogue sets out to recapture the artist's spirit and singularity, her communicative vitality - and to do justice to her rearkable body of work.
