Isaac Blake says, ‘I am honoured by the reappointment to the Barvalipe board of the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture – ERIAC. My thanks go to the staff and other board members of ERIAC for this recognition and honour, and I will work hard to promote the knowledge about Romani and Traveller artists, craftspeople and cultural producers who are so active in the UnitedKingdom and beyond.”
The Barvalipe Academy is the agenda-setting and strategic body of the Institute which has an advisory and inspirational role, in order to fulfill ERIAC’s objectives. Barvalipe is composed of 15 members – highly regarded, publicly acknowledged individuals, with competencies in the areas covered by ERIAC activities. Two thirds of the Academy members must openly declare their Romani ethnicity, respecting the diversity among the Romani communities. Gender balance must be ensured.
