Summary
- Exhibition features three British Romani artists challenging stereotypes.
- Works explore heritage, belonging, and cultural connections.
- Historic England film traces Romani history from 500 AD.
An exhibition at London Museum Docklands highlights the creativity and resilience of British Romani communities. Titled 'By Appointment Only', the display features works by three British Romani artists aimed at dismantling stereotypes and promoting connection.
Co-curator Corrina Eastwood described the project as deeply personal, weaving together histories through art. Eastwood's own piece, 'Sugar Coated', uses 3D-printed casts of her late father's hands to reflect on heritage. Delaine Le Bas's 'Tap Your Heels Together Three Times' delves into themes of belonging and modernity, drawing on family history and Romani traditions.
Artist Dan Turner from South-east London explores the interplay between Romani and broader British culture, showcasing traditional crafts. Complementing the artwork is a Historic England film, 'Searching for Romani Gypsy Heritage', which chronicles the Romani communities' history from 500 AD to the present day.
