This publication paints a multifaceted picture of today’s Romani youth and young adults. Many of the protagonists portrayed face their challenges with a rebellious attitude. The Romani women’s band Pretty Loud , for example, mixes traditional music with rap and sings explicitly against early marriages arranged by parents. Why should they remain silent, they ask in one of their songs, as long as they continue to face the rigid expectations of their society? Same-sex relationships, the freedom to choose one’s own gender, and the rights of minorities are also topics addressed by the young Romani. Wolfgang Müller studied photography in Arno Fischer’s class at the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund. In his documentary photography, he focuses primarily on people who are on the margins of society.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
