A Different Look at Romani History

Through documents, photographs, objects and testimonies, the exhibition «Una mirada diferente a través de la historia gitana» covers six centuries of Romani history in Spain —arrival, royal decrees, round-ups, resistance and cultural creation— and highlights Romani women as agents of change. The pieces belong to the collection of historian Manuel Martínez Martínez, who curates the exhibition.

It opened in April 2025 at the Provincial Historical Archive of Málaga, together with a street banner campaign and a musical tour with songs available via QR codes. It has since travelled to the provincial historical archives of Andalusia: Almería, Jaén, Granada and Córdoba.
