»Längst vergessene Held*innen – Sinti*zze und Rom*nja-Sportler*innen«

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition focuses on great sporting personalities, including the boxer Oswald Marschall, the footballer Angel Theiß and the kickboxer Gerard Lindner.

All of the people portrayed are united by their outstanding achievements in sport - and their decision to openly appear as Sinti*zze or Rom*nja.

In doing so, they set an example against discrimination and prejudice. The portraits tell of identity, strength and the self-confident handling of prejudice.

Action weeks against exclusion and discrimination in the north of Bremen
The north of Bremen is becoming colorful! From August 27 to September 14, 2025, the action weeks against exclusion and discrimination will take place in the north of Bremen. Numerous events, workshops and hands-on activities await you, with which we will work together for diverse lifestyles, participation and solidarity with one another. Let's set an example together: against the right and all forms of group-based misanthropy.
Since 2017, the action weeks have been organized by a broad alliance of associations, institutions and committed individuals from the region. As organizers, we want to encourage everyone to take a critical look at their own prejudices. In addition to raising awareness of discriminatory structures, the events are also about networking and empowerment.
