Romanja Power and Cultural Preservation at the RomaniPhen Feminist Archive by #FemGeniusesinBerlin published on 2018-06-14T18:26:19Z This podcast—led and produced by Anna Wermuth—examines our visit with Tayo Onutor and Isidora Randjelović of the RomaniPhen Feminist Archive. RomaniPhen is a self-organized, digital and real platform that disseminates ideas and knowledge from feminist Rromani perspectives: texts, analysis, perspectives and dialogues from the past and present, international perspectives, sometimes multilingual, audio and video, with popular culture, as well as activist and scientific contributions. They host events, conduct research, and write about Rromnja who discuss their views on the world, and they also collect writing, sound, and images that challenge the denial, slander and gadjé appropriation of Rromani history. Anna is from St. Louis, MO, and is a rising senior at Colorado College majoring in Organismal Biology and Ecology. Instead of declaring a minor, she has taken courses in a wide variety of programs and departments, such as Existential Philosophy, Religious Poetry in Asia, Food and Social Justice, Critical Media Studies, Multiple Religious Belonging, Spanish Language and Culture, and piano lessons. She works in Special Collections at the Tutt Library on-campus, where her favorite part is browsing the zine collection, which she contributes to by adding her own and those of others from around the world. She is also a volunteer with Colorado Springs Food Rescue and Arcadia Urban Gardens, and she plans to devote her life (and career in Ecology) to fostering food justice in her community. As a member of the #FemGeniusesinBerlin, she hopes to take inspiration from the region’s activists in continuing the struggle against oppression everywhere! Joining Anna in her discussion are Abby Williams and Noah Shuster. Genre Learning
