Day 21 🇸🇮
Kumpania Algazarra, “Maribor” (2009)

An instrumental ensemble / street band with its heart firmly in the Balkans - hence, presumably, why this number is named after a Slovenian city - although they are actually Portuguese.

The whole Romani thing is just inherently unsalvageable by its very origin

Part V: Interviews

ion, how could him being Romani be used to inform his characterina-tion? Why is having a Romani superhero important? How much research did you do on Romani history/culture in order to write Dick?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I never thought of that as a retcon. As far as I know, there had never been any discussion of or verdict on Dick's race-that's not the kind of material comic writers normally walked up to in the forties. But if you look at his history and his coloring ... I didn't feel like I was changing anything so much as clarifying it. And then yes, I made some decisions about the specifics of his ethnicity (like that the Romani heritage came from his dad's side and that they were Kalderasha), but that was also based on what felt to me like fictional evidence. It just made sense, and it was interesting and it felt authentic to the character. In any case, I did a lot of research into both circus and Romani culture (which is how I came across that connection in the first place). And I don't know that Id say having a Romani superhero is important as much as l'd say that not assuming that all superheroes are white Europeans is important... I guess that's why I'm bristling at the term "retcon"; I didn't change his ethnicity from one thing to another, he had no ethnicity. The truth is, we never tak about that stuff, we just make assumptions, and in this case those assumptions are based on a really boring, banal and in many ways harmful representation of America.

So how does it inform his character? Well, it presents a narrative for his family's history that makes sense in light of their occupation. It reinforces his "otherness" where Bruce is concerned in what I think is a useful, interesting way (economically, for instance), and in my mind it enhances his early childhood adventures. If his family was initially connected to a kumpania, it means that Dick didn't necessarily spend the cireus off-seasons in Gibtown—he could have been traveling the world, which seems likely given the poise and self-possession he showed as an eight-year-old. It also presents the opportunity for there to be a slight chip on his shoulder, which maybe speaks to his scrappiness. It also maybe gives him a slightly deeper way to relate to someone like Helena-someone who is white but other-and gives the people who love (or lust after) him a potential cultural excuse for feeling as bewitched as they sometimes do. I also just love the idea of Bruce occasionally calling him "hot blooded,"just to mess with him, because Dick would of course deny being so in an extremely hot-blooded manner.
Also, you know, when you talk about decisions ... I'm a writer. Characters present themselves to me and tell me who they are. Obviously I'm responsible for those interpretations on some deep, unconscious level, but the experience isn't an intellectual one, it's one of discovery.

Les universitats públiques valencianes reservaran una plaça addicional en cada grau per a l'estudiantat gitano

La comissió gestora de la prova d'accés a la universitat, la PAU, ha acordat per unanimitat, en l'última reunió plenària, afegir una plaça addicional per a l'estudiantat del col·lectiu gitano que acredite participació en el projecte d'integració Kumpania, que desenvolupa la Conselleria de Serveis Socials, Igualtat i Habitatge. Amb esta mesura, aquells aspirants que hagen cursat almenys durant cinc anys els estudis d'ensenyament secundari obligatori (ESO) i batxillerat en el marc del projecte Kumpania i Kumpania Plus tindran dret a sol·licitar la reserva d'un lloc per grau i centre del sistema universitari públic valencià, segons ha precisat la Generalitat en un comunicat.

Otra semana de duro trabajo escolar en #Kumpania.

Además hemos trabajado la prevención del acoso escolar mediante el juego #ElHombreLobo, creando espacios seguros a través del respeto.

¡Y hemos comprobado cómo un buen cuentacuentos estimula la imaginación, el lenguaje y el aprendizaje!
