The Roma: A Travelling History

5 Jul 2025

15:00 - 16:00

City Hall

Join writer and researcher Madeline Potter for a deeply personal and timely conversation about her acclaimed book The Roma, a powerful portrait of Europe’s Romani communities, past and present. 

Blending memoir, reportage, and historical investigation, Potter sheds new light on a people too often excluded from mainstream narratives. From artists and boxers to survivors of persecution and injustice, The Roma uncovers extraordinary lives, and challenges the stereotypes and prejudices that continue to shape public perception. 

Drawing on her own experiences as a Romani woman, Potter offers a moving exploration of identity, resilience, and the importance of visibility.
