Pork Chops, with turkey or beef and chicken and different spices; Meat with meat and even more meat; Tastefully mixed vegetables and dinners that are cooked with extra portions. This is the Romani kitchen and in this episode we are going to talk all about it.

Our guests have a lot to tell you about Romani food. You will hear from two Romani food lovers, Jonathan Lee from the ERRC and Aaron Himenez Cortez who is joining our podcast from Catalonia; Anna Orsos from Hungary whose home cooking tastes like childhood memories and Nicoleta Calin, Romanian Roma, who turned recipes passed down for generations into a food blog.

Episode #2: Radical Romni Fashion and Design

The clothes Roma wear are often heavily associated with their ethnicity, and a pervasive stereotypical image of how Roma, particularly Romani women, should dress is still common in our societies. At the same time, so-called 'Gypsy Fashion' sells well all over the world, but it is usually sold by non-Roma with the profits from appropriating Romani culture rarely returning to Romani communities.

In this episode of the Romani Tea Room, Sophie Datishvili speaks with two Romani women who are reclaiming Romani fashion in different ways and challenging stereotypes about the clothes that Roma wear, and the way Romani fashion is consumed today.

Episode #4: The Human Rights Pandemic

The most vulnerable Romani communities in Europe were significantly affected by increased institutional racism and discrimination during the COVID 19 pandemic. At a time when the attention of the world was diverted, Roma were being harassed and brutalised by racist police officers, forcefully evicted from their homes, scapegoated by the far-right, denied equal access to healthcare, and left out of emergency policy-making. These are the key findings of the ERRC’s new report “Roma Rights in the time of COVID”.

In this episode of the Romani Tea Room, podcast host Sophie Datishvili will tell you about the experiences of Romani families from different countries, and speak with experts about the human rights situation for Roma during the emergency lockdowns across Europe. These stories, drawn from the ERRC's report, reflect the scale of injustice that Romani people have been facing in 2020.
