Chris Lee represented the Romani Cultural and Arts Company and GRT in Wales at a GRT LGBT conference in Prague during August 2015. This historic International Conference highlighted and explored the many challenges facing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Roma in Europe and beyond. The programme included presentations and discussions on International and European rights and standards in relation to discrimination and how national legislation impacts on the lives of LGBT Roma in Spain, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Britain.

Chris Lee is of Welsh Romany Gypsy heritage and grew up in north Wales. She currently resides in Barry near Cardiff. Chris worked as a graphic designer in advertising, theatre, education and publishing for over 30 years. She also established and ran her own successful graphic design company – Chris Lee Design.

Chris truly believes that if individuals have the courage to speak up about who they really are, this will bring about positive change, So we not only liberate ourselves but by example liberate others. We spread the love.

David Tiser, Director of ARA ART says “The international Roma LGBT conference is a historic milestone in the area of human rights in Europe.”
