What is the aim? Tackling the issue of unemployment among Roma community and raise of awareness on the problem of their exclusion across Europe.” To summarize methods and ideas of project: Roma (considered by a socio-administrative system as social parasites) collaborate with the artist (who calls himself Parasite) within the project, which relies on an parasitic exploitation of already existing pictures, canons and icons of European painting. The aim of this method is to equip Roma with the skill to paint pictures which will be sold around the world via an online store (…) The key to a success of the project will be a concept of painting which involves the Roma culture on a parasitical contact with European culture (…) Another important element of the project is that the gain from the sale of our works will be evenly split within this “guild”.(…)
Within three weeks they will be implemented to a process of quick painting course.
“(…) The project relies on the involvement of few unemployed Roma to become painters.
