The Slovenian research group Romani and Sinti Musicians in Slovenia from the Department of Musicology, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, is organizing an international and interdisciplinary symposium titled "Romani and Sinti Musicians between *the State, Market, and Society."
We invite submissions of paper, panel, round table, and film proposals

The key terms from the title of the symposium are elaborated as follows:
1) *State*: The state’s social and cultural policies affecting a variety of
ways the activities of Romani and Sinti musicians, their social status,
self-representation, repertoire, motives and venues for performances,
stylistic features, and other domains.
2) *Market*: Strategies of Romani and Sinti musicians in addressing glocal circumstances, past and present, in terms of age, gender, economic status, technology, musical choices, presence in the media, level of professionalism, and other relevant factors.
3) *Society*: Social and musical interactions between Romani and Sinti
musicians and their Romani/Sinti and non-Romani/non-Sinti audiences on the levels of individuals, communities, and larger societies.
The deadline for submission of the proposals is 30 January 2025.
The symposium’s program committee will send out notifications of acceptance/rejection by the end of February 2025. The deadline for the participants’ confirmations of attendance is 31 March 2025.
