Nomadism as a Stereotype? Works by Artists of Roma Origin Created in Relation to the Effects of the Balkan War

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author attempts to highlight how the stereotype of “Romani nomadism” continues to shape the perception of contemporary individuals of Romani descent and contributes to the negation of the historical experiences of this ethnic group in favor of biologizing its characteristics and behaviors. This has catastrophic consequences, such as the differential application of legal regulations against the Roma (rulings made to their disadvantage). The article presents examples of the biographies of Romani activists and artists and their migrations during the Balkan War, migrations during the political-economic-social transformation of the 1990s in Europe, and even migrations from the time of the abolition of Roma slavery in the territories of present-day Romania and Moldova.
