During the last six years, M\u00e6hlum met with Travellers from all of Norway, hearing their personal stories about identity and culture. The Romani people were subjected to a harsh process of assimilation, and they are no longer year-round travellers. Many aspects of Norwegian Traveller culture have survived, such as handicrafts, strong family ties, trade and the yearning to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All Travellers have their own opinion of what it means to be part of the Romani people, and no one can represent the entire Norwegian Travellers\u2019 community. With this exhibition, based on meetings with dozens of people, the photographer wants to show who the Travellers are in Norway in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Romani people\/Norwegian Travellers\/Taters are one of five recognized national minorities in Norway, alongside Roma, Kvens\/Norwegian Finns, Norwegian Jews and Forest Finns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingun Alette M\u00e6hlum<\/strong> is a photographer, having studied Photojournalism at Oslo Met.
