Guess what, I’m still here at Margot Samel presents the first U.S. exhibition of Hungarian Roma artist Mara Oláh (Omara, 1945–2020). A self-taught painter, draughtswoman, and photographer, Oláh turned to art as expression and therapy while confronting systemic discrimination. Her bold portraits, intimate photographs, and collages affirm Roma dignity and resilience, weaving autobiography with activism and demanding recognition on her own terms.
