Echelle Inconnue

The book takes the reader on a visual journey across Europe with a focus on its fastest-growing ethnic minority: the Roma. This publication is the result of a unique partnership called EU-ROMA formed by a coalition of architects, designers and artists wishing to raise awareness of the diversity and richness of the Roma people. The book features EU-ROMA projects conducted together with the gypsy communities in Romania, Greece, Italy and the UK. Mapping the Invisible discusses the Roma cultural heritage, looking at the issues surrounding topics from recent European migration to current housing conditions. The projects undertaken by EU-ROMA are explored from start to finish, showing the methods, challenges and outcomes of their work with Roma communities across Europe. Mapping the invisible features internationally celebrated artists in a unique partnership and is the first art/architecture publication dedicated to European Roma gypsies. Visually engaging, it will inspire anyone with an interest in contemporary architecture, visual art and design, social sustainability, and radical movers and shakers involved in supporting human rights.
