Sixteen Spokes of May — A Romani Wheel of Memory and Resistance

It has been carried quietly, passed between generations, often in the absence of monuments or recognition.

Sixteen Spokes of May is a participatory outdoor intervention that holds this date as its starting point and opens it outward through a collective offering. Like resistance itself, the form is circular and fills up with each presence that enters it. Roma struggles are not separate from the struggles of other communities facing imperialism, displacement, and the erasure of memory. This participatory intervention creates a space where those solidarities can be felt in common.
