Rosa Sofia Ingeborg Taikon (30 July 1926 – 1 June 2017), formerly Janusch and Widegren, was a Swedish Romani silversmith and activist.

Following the murder of her brother in 1962, Taikon and her sister Katarina became noted Romani activists against antiziganism in Sweden as well as abroad.

[2] Her mother was from Härryda, while her father, a fairground owner, merchant, coppersmith, and musician, first visited Sweden in 1898, and opted to stay there in 1914 after the Swedish government introduced a ban on admitting Romani people into the country.

Karlsson moved in with Taikon and Masha, and had four children together: in addition to Rosa and Katarina, they also had a son, Paul, and another daughter, Paulina.

[4] Due to many schools refusing to accept Romani students, Taikon's father opted to train his children to work instead.

[9] During the summer of 1994, a major exhibition of Taikon's work, alongside that of Herta Bengtson, Karin Björquist and Ingegerd Råman was held at the Träslosset in Arbrå.

[6] In recognition for her work as both a silversmith and a Romani activist, Taikon was awarded the Illis quorum in 2010 and the Olof Palme Prize in 2013.
