This Sunday, June 4, starting at 11:30 a.m., on the flamenco-style Carmen Amaya Avenue, in the El Gornal neighborhood,
Rromano Kidipen
will take place. This activity is co-organized with the Roma association Lachó Bají Calí. Rromano Kidipen is a space to share the knowledge of basketry while we chat about the stories of the Roma community of L’Hospitalet. In addition to that, other things will be happening around, as Marcos Prior will be there to continue collaborating with the image of the CICdB, Los Barraconeros singing and playing, and Voces gitanas on the radio. The action is part of the research platform residing in the Virreina Centre de la Imatge ‘Topographies of Urban Discrepancy‘ coordinated by María García. Also with the ‘Interpretation Center of the City from the Barraca’, with which, through different strategies, we are adding layers to a heterogeneous work of memory recovery that we started with another action focused specifically on the stories of the Roma community of the shantytown neighborhoods of Gran Vía Sur. Lachó Bají was another action co-organized with the association coordinated by Mercedes Gómez Cortés that took place in November 2014 under the umbrella of ‘La noche flamenca – El Sol cuando es de noche’ curated by Pedro G. Romero for the MACBA. On that occasion, instead of basketry, it was flamenco that was associated with the images and testimonies that we were collecting in the months prior to the event and that we distributed during the walk, here you can see the videos and other materials generated during the party. Oh! And as you can read in the fine print, at 2:00 p.m., potluck lunch!
