What is it like to live outside of History? To remain invisible and gain visibility only at the moment of your violent obliteration? To be excluded from citizenship and, yet, be summoned to apologize for your very exclusion? Is your life of any value if you are a Roma person in Greece?

Onassis Stegi organized a discussion centered around the problems, as well as the capacities of the Roma community, providing the very members of this community a space and a floor to speak. To let the story be told by its very subjects, about their sorrow and pride, about their frustrations and demands. A portal of encounter, towards a perspective of inclusivity on the grounds of recognizing and accepting linguistic and cultural differences, equality, conversation, and justice.

The “Society Uncensored” series of digital discussions is physically held at the Upper Stage of Onassis Stegi, inviting citizens to take a stand and become an active part of the discussion. The second part of the episode presents opinions, statements, and questions from the audience in an open dialogue without censorship. In the episode, findings collected by the Observatory for Advocacy and Defense of Roma Human Rights and the "JustRom" program of the EU and the Council of Europe for the access of Roma women to justice, are also presented.
