The screening event Home from Home at Klosterruine Berlin follows on from the exhibition of the same name, which took place at the Halle für Kunst Lüneburg e.V. earlier this year. The exhibition was dedicated to multi-perspective and trans-historical experiences of Roma in the form of a cinema program, a photographic travel diary as well as everyday objects collected by Carmen Gheorghe. The screening presents three short films and one feature-length film and addresses notions of an (imaginary) home and questions of post-nationality, reflecting the diverse cultural creations of a multilingual and multi-religious Roma diaspora. In addition, texts and a painting by the artist OMARA (Mara Oláh) will be presented.

Curated by Carmen Gheorghe and Elisa R. Linn

In collaboration with Klosterruine Berlin and Juliane Bischoff
