Photograhy exhibition “Chachipe” in Gjakova
On Wednesday 26th of September 2012 at 16:00 the photography exhibition “Chachipe Youth” will be open for public at the Cultural Center “Asim Vokshi” in Gjakova. The exhibition is organized by Open Society Foundations, Kosovo Foundation for Open Society and Hungarian Embassy in Kosovo.
Curated by Gabriella Csizek, the exhibition will feature a selection of photographs from the Chachipe Youth international photography contest which was launched in November 2008 by Open Society Foundations and OSA Archives. Chachipe Youth – chachipe means truth or reality in Romanes – invited submissions from young people across 12 countries participating in the Decade of Roma Inclusion. The contest sought to combat negative stereotypes, break with prejudiced portrayals and, through the lens of young people, present a more complex and more nuanced depiction of Europe’s largest ethnic minority, the Roma.
