$Talk | It\u2019s Kushti to Rokker Family Connections (It\u2019s Good to Talk Family Connections)$

Kelly Horsley is the great-great niece of Granny Smith, whose daughter-in-law was Beulah (Freedom) Smith. Beulah’s portrait by Dame Laura Knight is exhibited in Atchin Tan - Travelling Through Art. She discusses her family connections, and Romani heritage and culture in this hour-long talk.
Hear about travelling communities local to Worcestershire and their deep-rooted connections to the agricultural landscape. She will explore the impact of representation and misrepresentation of these communities, and shed light on Romany culture, its traditions, and how these are evolving to become more integrated into society – whilst maintaining a key characteristic elusiveness.
