Some of the personalities included in the project are jazz singer Anca Parghel (1957-2008), violinist Ion Voicu (1923-1997), artist Anton Pann (1790-1854), footballer Bănel Nicoliță (born 1985), musician Barbu Lăutaru (1780-1858), singer Connect-R (born 1982), and actress Alina Șerban born 1987).
The exhibition is part of the “Roma for Romania” campaign, which the National Agency for Roma, the National Center for Roma Culture – Romano Kher and the “Pro-Europa” Roma Party Association have been running since April 2023.
