14th June 2009 Romano Bumburumbum book launch at Refugee Week on the South Bank, London, UK

Thousands of people strolling along the sunny South Bank passed by our interactive exhibition at the Refugee Week festival. Our horse and caravan pulled in the crowds who wanted to ask the young people what the new book "Romano Bumburumbum" was all about.

Romano Bumburumbum is a first ever picture book illustrated with pinhole photography. It was created during a series of participative workshops with a group of young Roma from East London, in partnership with Akademia Pstryk and The Children's Society Roma Awareness Raising Project.

The horse and caravan were there to symbolise the heritage and history of the Roma people, and to explain how we made the book. The caravan was transformed, especially for the event, into a camera obscura that members of the public were invited to walk into and experience. This giant camera was much like those the young people for their illustrations, and the event was an opportunity for these young Roma to share their experiences and tell people how and why they made the book.

We had lots of interesting conversations with lots of lovely people, so now we're really looking forward to the next event in Stratford on the 20^th June...
