One year ago, on December 9th 2017, the great artist Damian Le Bas passed away.
With his artwork Safe European Home? as well as the exhibition Romani History X, Damian made a significant contribution to both the 1st and 3rd Berliner Herbstsalon. Together with his wife Delaine Le Bas, Damian was responsible for the painting and artwork in the production Roma Armee, which premiered at the Gorki in 2017. Damian was the soul of Roma Armee and a role model of artistic activism fighting against racism and antiziganism.

Today we commemorate a great artist and inspiring friend
Our thoughts are with his wife Delaine and his son Damian James Le Bas.
