A few words about
ARA ART
ARA ART connects together people, art, action and beliefs into a coherent activity - ARTIVISM.
We focus on artistic creation with an emphasis on live art, we organize cultural events and we are also active in education and sharing of experiences.
ARA ART's special topic is the Roma LGBT+ minority and issues of multiple discrimination.
