Deconstructing Carmen

Decolonial Perspectives on the Image of the Spanish Romanies

The representation of the Roma has been essential in the construction of Spanish identity. Contrary to what happens with other minorities, where invisibilisation prevails, the Spanish Roma have been victims of a proliferation of images so powerful that they are usually accepted as representative of an entire people.

This conference aims to stimulate reflection centred on the dramatic arts and media (fiction and documentary films, television, and online formats), from a decolonial perspective.
