From stories to action,
from action to change.
Mission & Vision
We connect people, art, and action so that Roma people have a full and equal place in society.
We want a society in which Roma people, including those facing intersectional discrimination, can live with dignity and fulfil their potential.
About us
Through culture, education, counselling, and advocacy work, we open up questions of systemic discrimination, bring them to the political level, and strengthen the voice of Roma people.
Artivism
We have been developing Roma art and culture in the long term, supporting the creation of new artistic projects, and through our own theatre company we address social issues from a Roma perspective.
Counseling
An integral part of our work is also an anti-discrimination counselling service, which provides support and legal assistance to people facing discrimination—especially Roma individuals, Roma women, LGBTQ+ people, and all those whose experience is shaped by multiple forms of discrimination.
Education
Through educational activities, we strengthen the competencies of teachers, social workers, and institutional representatives in the field of sociocultural understanding and equal access to Roma people.

Why our work is needed
“I greatly appreciate that ARA ART works with intersectionality and gives space to minorities within the Romani minority. I also appreciate its ability to connect Romani history and traditions with modern approaches and contemporary artistic language; through this, ARA ART clearly demonstrates that Romani identity does not belong solely to the past, but has a fully-fledged place in the 21st century as well.”
