Rosa Taikon's video message: The Romani Elders, 7. Berlin Biennale
Amazing video of the swedish-romani Rosa Taikon, sister of Katarina Taikon who where the leader of the romani civil rights movement in sweden, talking about the history of the romani civil rights movement in sweden.
Rosa Taikon (1926-2017) was a romani women born in sweden. When this video was filmed she worked as a silver smiths in Sweden. She also keept up the struggle for ending the oppression of romani people, in sweden and the world during her entire life.
the sub-titles does sadly not convey how amazing Rosa Taikons way with words is, but it does communcate her general message, even if sadly some of her talking points are not included in the sub-titles. hopefully someone could add more word by word sub-titles to this youtube video at some point!
