      5. Acknowledgments: 
        BAK wishes to thank the following individuals and institutions, who contributed generously in a variety of ways to making this project possible: Etienne Balibar, Paris; Hestia Bavelaar, Utrecht; Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht; Lodewijk van Eekhout, Utrecht; Hans Janssen, Gemeentemuseum, The Hague; Cecile Kovacshazy, Limoges; Victor Nieuwenhuijs, Amsterdam; RKD (Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie), The Hague; Kathrin Rhomberg, Vienna; Sophie Rouffet, Berlin; Hanna Salonen, Amersfoort; and Alet Santman, Utrecht.

        In particular, BAK wishes to acknowledge the support of the UNESCO Venice Office in realization and maintenance of the project.

        Maria Hlavajova would specifically like to acknowledge the work, knowledge, and dedication to the project of: Daniel Baker, London; Aernout Mik, Amsterdam; Suzana Milevska, Skopje; Tom McDonough, Binghamton; and all artists and other contributors to the series of live testimonies. Without the team of BAK—professional colleagues and dear friends—the project would not have been possible, and although all members of the team contributed immensely with their work, expertise, advise, and support, special thanks go to Cosmin Costinaş, Arjan van Meeuwen, Emile Miedema, Gwen Parry, Ivo Verburg, and Jill Winder. Also, having both thrived upon and suffered from the absence of the very possibility of national institutional back up for this extra-national project, the realization of the Roma Pavilion would not have even been thinkable without numerous financial partners and NGOs, and I extend my gratitude to all those involved in supporting the project financially. 

        Suzana Milevska wishes to thank: Enisa Eminovska, Vladan Jeremic, and Rena Readle.
