Divé Maky, a non-profit organization, about this project: “Through this project, we aim to contribute to the preservation of unique Roma cultural values and traditions. Moreover, we want to showcase the beauty of Roma art, break down stereotypes and prejudices against Roma people, promote tolerance, and provide a platform for talented Roma children to showcase their skills alongside professional Roma artists. Roma culture and art are important parts of our history and present, and therefore play a significant role in stimulating the cultural life in Bratislava.”
