Biography

Lumberg was born in Lappeenranta. She ran away from her family in the age of 13 because of fear, violence and subjugation. Many of her works are inspired by her childhood experience.[1] Lumberg gained nationwide publicity in 1997 when a television mini-series of the traditional Kale life, based on her screenplay, titled Tumma ja hehkuva veri, was shown on television. In 2007 Lumberg received death threats after criticizing the Romani culture on television.[2]

Along with other prominent members of the Finnish Roma community, Lumberg, percussionist Rainer Friman (fi) and author Veijo Baltzar, criticised Miranda Vuolasranta, President of the European Roma & Traveller Forum, accusing her of downplaying problems and excluding critical voices.[3][4][5] In 2008 Vuolasranta was forced to pay a fine after Lumberg accused her of defamation of character.[6]

Lumberg was candidate for the Left Alliance in Finnish Parliament elections in 2007[7] and in 2009 to European Parliament.[8]
