Shaving, Stripping, Public Humiliation: Disinfecting Gypsy Settlements during Socialism

[anna balint]

[no exhibition at the Galeria Centralis in Budapest is cool,
the materials come mainly  from the Open Society Archives.It originally consists 
of one of the biggest archives of the cold war,
-the archives of Radio Free Europe in Munich,- but it collects documenation
of the societies in change in East Europe in the nineties as well. For instance there has
been a huge exhibition about the media war in Yugoslavia as well.
Well, after having seen exhibitions about the Russian Gulag, Yugoslav war,
still, this exhbition about public himliation of the Gyspsies was one of the most shocking for me.]
