ternYpe - International Roma Youth Network

For the “Amen Sam Terne” exhibition, we are proud to showcase artworks created by young artists who explore identity and resilience through contemporary forms. The first one is Denis Nanciu, a Roma multidisciplinary artist specialised in contemporary jewelry, sculpture, drawing, and object design. He graduated from the National University of Arts, specializing in metal sculpture, and holds a master’s degree in artistic metal furniture. He works with materials such as brass, copper, iron, silver, and glass, exploring expressive and symbolic forms. His artistic practice reflects a constant interest in memory, fragility, balance, and the tension between the material and the immaterial, combining traditional techniques with a contemporary aesthetic. His works range from small pieces, such as brooches and accessories, to large sculptures and installations.

Our intervention centred Roma youth. We centred co-created learning resources, remembrance with dignity, and youth-led advocacy against antigypsyism. We also centred ethical and safe use of survivors’ testimonies, and practical cooperation between schools, museums and youth groups.

This builds on Dikh He Na Bister - Roma Genocide Remembrance (DHNB), our Europe-wide youth remembrance initiative. Each year,since 2010, roma and non-roma young people beside honouring the victims and learning about the history, return home as peer educators who strengthen local communities and classrooms.

Together with partners from the EU Justice and Consumers, Council of Europe, OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture - ERIAC, Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, and IHRA, we share a commitment to memory, education, and combating antigypsyism.
