These black-and-white images probably the last saved piece of world and nomadic life style of Roma. It seems that random visitors of this amazing public art presentation were lucky enough - these photos have not been published for a long time. The photos were taken by Janusz Helfer, Polish photographer from Cracow, who was enthrall by Roma culture.
Although, the settlements have dramatically changed life of Travellers, it have not cut them off their roots and traditions.

I was really happy to see that this exhibition has attracted attention of quite a lot of people who happened to be in the park. Good news!
