Local Kosovo Roma artists empower their community through art
4 May 2021
To mark International Roma Day and raise awareness of Romani culture and art, the OSCE Mission supported two Kosovo Roma painters to exhibit their work and offer a basic painting class to children in Gračanica/Graçanicë.
The paintings of siblings Bajram and Farija Mehmeti capture scenes from everyday life and are inspired by the lives and traditions of the Roma community. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture of Kosovo Roma, and aims to fight prejudice and promote tolerance.
The paintings were also exhibited at a restaurant in Prishtinë/Priština.
