The paper is patient af Ceija Stojka (Bog)

An invaluable testimony to the deportation and holocaust of the Romani people during the Second World War, the work of Ceija Stojka (1933-2013) is presented for the first time in its dual dimension of graphic and poetic work. In this book, the reverse side of her works, where she describes and demonstrates through writing, is presented alongside her drawings and paintings. Ceija Stojka’s particular language, expressive and almost phonetic, is transcribed into German and translated into English.

Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Malmö Konsthall in 2021.

Sammendrag: Ceija Stojka blev født i 1933 i Østrig til en familie af Romani hestehandlere, Lovaras. Som barn blev hun drevet ind i koncentrationslejrenes helvede af Nazi-racial-love i 24 måneder. Som overlevende dækkede hun denne trauma med en tung stilhed i næsten 40 år. I 1980erne, konfronteret med andre tragiske omstændigheder i sit liv, benægtelsen af Romani-holocaust og fremkomsten af ekstreme højreorienterede racistiske ideer i Østrig, følte hun et presserende behov for at vidne. Hun begyndte med kunst og begyndte at tegne og fandt endelig sin vej.
