A Small Roma Memory Book by Dzemiliana Abdulova is a personal collection of texts, statements, images, and selected cultural activity representative of Roma tradition that the author has grown with, as a young cultural worker. In the midst of different directions, understandings, and thoughts on Roma culture in the local community, and a general lack of material documents on the Roma history, tradition, and the everyday, this book represents a small intimate piece from the puzzle of the bigger Roma picture. Somewhat referring to the predominantly oral transmission of Roma tradition, sequences of memories, missing pieces, images, and meanings, intertwine with stories and texts of people that are important to Dzemiliana, thus creating the imaginary of what Romanipe - Roma identity, means to her individually.
The book contains an author's text by Dzemiliana, including statements from artists, designers, and musicians: Muamed Malikovski, Dzambo Agushev, Amet Jashar, Sami Osman, Simeon Atanasov, Ernest Ibraimovski, Fejme Mustafova, and Hajdar Zekir, and also contains texts by Sevdija Demirova Abdulova, Mirdita Saliu, and Ljatif Demir, as well as a photographic section from the archives of Dzemiliana Abdulova, Sami Osman, Theater Roma, and Muamed Malikovski.
The project is sponsored by the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development.
