After her death in 2022, the singer and "ambassador of Roma culture" Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos left us with a diverse musical legacy, which the MMRC will make available to the public in a digital exhibition. However, Ruža has always wanted her songs to live on. This cannot happen through an exhibition alone – but through active music-making!

Selected personalities from the Austrian Rom*nja music scene will present their versions of songs by Ruža on 3 May 2024 as part of the concert evening "Sa tja patjivake Ruža (In your honour, Ruža). Songs by Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos (1945-2022)" at the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts.
