Peter Nestler – Der offene Blick – Künstlerinnen und Künstler der Sinti und Roma AKA The Open View – Artists of the Sinti and Roma (2022)

»The Open View – Artists of the Sinti and Roma« presents artists of the Sinti and Roma who shape the trauma of persecution and very personal experiences in their works. They use a wide variety of forms of expression and means, but what they all have in common is an open view.
Peter Nestler succeeds in making this tangible by meeting them without cultural fixations and at eye level. Gitta Martl and her daughter Nicole Sevik read short texts. They commemorate the Sinti and Roma in the Austrian »gypsy detention camp« Weyer.
Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) was an Austrian writer, painter, singer, activist and survivor of the Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen.
Her paintings are exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide. Ceija Stojka created her own forms of expression, shaped memory and trauma into a painted oratorio against forgetting.
Filmmaker Karin Berger accompanied Stojka’s work as a friend and mentor for two and a half decades, a reminiscense of an extraordinary woman. Writer and Roma activist Samuel Mágó, who deals with identity and prejudice in his texts, says: »For my generation, Ceija Stojka is a really great role model«.
In this context, the film scholar Radmila Mladenova makes an excursion to antiziganist clichés in film history since D. W. Griffith, which are contrasted with photographs characterized by an »egalitarian view« in the depiction of Sinti and Roma.
The artist Lita Cabellut spent her childhood in precarious conditions in Aragon, Spain.
At the age of twelve, she was adopted by a Catalan noble family, moved to the Netherlands in 1980, studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and has lived in The Hague ever since. As a painter, she uses a modern fresco technique, creates opera sets and costumes. In recent years, a lot has changed for the better for artists. For example, the Kai Dikhas Gallery and Foundation under the direction of Moritz Pankok offers a continuous forum with more than a hundred exhibitions. Parts of the collection can be seen at this year’s »documenta fifteen«.
Jovan Nicolic tells poetic short stories about his childhood in a Yugoslav family of musicians.
»The Tear« is a tragicomic miniature about the funeral service for his dead father, who is put the saxophone on his lips one last time. The film is framed by excerpts from a concert of the »Roma and Sinti Philharmonic«.
Under the direction of Riccardo M Sahiti, the orchestra performed with performer Iva Bittová, cymbalist László Rácz and violin virtuoso Roby Lakatos at the »Morgenland Festival Osnabrück« in November 2021.
