Abstract

This essay delves into the representation and reclamation of Romani identity and experience in contemporary art, focusing on the work of Malgorzata Mirga-Tas, viewed from a Gitano point of view located in the South of Europe. Drawing on historical contexts and artistic movements, the essay examines the evolution of Romani portrayal in European art and the emergence of contemporary Romani art as a form of resistance and self-representation. Through an analysis of Mirga-Tas's artistic practice and its intersection with themes of coloniality, gender, and racialization, the essay explores how her work challenges dominant narratives and fosters a deeper understanding of Romani culture and history. Furthermore, the essay discusses the significance of Mirga-Tas's artistic interventions in reshaping perceptions of Romani identity and contributing to broader conversations about representation, power, and agency in the art world, including the cultural field of flamenco. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing art history, sociology, and cultural studies, this essay offers insights into the complexities of Romani contemporary art and its role in challenging entrenched stereotypes and advocating for social justice and recognition.

论罗姆人的当代性：重新思考塞维利亚的马尔戈扎塔-米尔加-塔斯展览

这篇文章从欧洲南部吉塔诺人的视角出发，深入探讨了当代艺术对罗姆人身份和经历的表现和再创造，重点关注 Malgorzata Mirga-Tas 的作品。文章以历史背景和艺术运动为基础，探讨了欧洲艺术中罗姆人形象的演变，以及当代罗姆艺术作为一种反抗和自我表述形式的出现。通过分析米尔加-塔斯的艺术实践及其与殖民地、性别和种族化等主题的交集，文章探讨了她的作品如何挑战主流叙事，以及如何促进对罗姆文化和历史的深入理解。此外，文章还讨论了米尔加-塔斯的艺术干预在重塑人们对罗姆人身份的看法，以及在艺术界（包括弗拉门戈文化领域）促进有关代表性、权力和能动性的更广泛对话方面的意义。通过涵盖艺术史、社会学和文化研究的多学科方法，本文深入探讨了罗姆当代艺术的复杂性及其在挑战根深蒂固的陈规陋习、倡导社会正义和认可方面所发挥的作用。
