Arts Lab 4.0: Month IV, Cihan - Strange

When I started to write these notes, it felt a little strange that four months had passed since the start of the project. Time passed so fast on the one hand, and on the other hand, it felt strange as if I had been living here for a much longer time because of the many memories we had.

This month's theme is Rromani culture. This work was an enjoyable process for me. We started the project by watching many documentaries in order to get to know the Rroma culture better. Afterward, we watched one of my favorite movies, "Time for the Gypsies" together.

Then we held art workshops in a secondary school for two weeks to introduce the Rroma culture to children. In these workshops, I worked on Rroma music with children. We learned, played and sang songs together. And at the concert I will organize on the day of the exhibition, some of these children will sing the songs they learned. I think it will be great.

For the exhibition day, I will give a violin recital inspired by the "Time of the Gypsies" soundtrack. I am currently working on the notes of many Rroma music. We will have an alternative museum exhibition in a week. I hope it will be very enjoyable.  

Cihan is from Turkey and he is doing a long-term volunteering project in our organisation, under Arts Lab 4.0, a project funded by the European Solidarity Corps, a programme of the European Union.
