Andre Miri Cipa

Once upon a time, there was a magic mirror, but conflict shattered it into thousands of pieces. Legend says that if the shards are reassembled, the Roma will find the peace and quiet they deserve. In a utopian future, protagonists Robin, Vanessa and Marie make a pilgrimage to the mystical monument – and it seems that they’re one step closer to putting the pieces back together.

Accompanied by their friends Dejv and Kaja, Robin, Vanessa and Marie return to unpleasant memories of the old world, which strongly resembles the one we know. What kinds of things did they have to go through as teenagers because of their Romani heritage?

Experience common situations through the eyes of Roma adolescents from Czechia.

- Three chapters with interlinking stories based on participatory research

- Three Roma protagonists with original stories

- An encyclopedia of related terms that are still not discussed enough

- Original graphics, narrative and music created in collaboration with a Roma video game writer and other artists

The experiences captured in the game come from participatory research and workshops with Roma delivered by the creative team.

The digital game Andre miri cipa / In My Skin was created with state support from the Technological Agency of the Czech Republic (project TQ01000081) as part of the Sigma Program, and in collaboration with the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Brno University of Technology, the Faculty of Social Studies at Masaryk University and the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University.
