Robin's Story

I didn't do anything wrong. Why wasn't that enough?” Robin is the protagonist of Andre Miri Cipa's first chapter. What's it like to go shopping when you're a thirteen-year-old Roma boy?

Christmas is coming. Robin's mother is injured and can't walk, and so you set out with Robin to shop for the ingredients for a traditional Romani dish: pišot, a type of dumpling. The list is short, and the shop is only a few steps away. At first glance, there's nothing complicated about it. At least not until a fuse blows, and Robin runs into the security guard.

Vanessa's Story

“Getting ready to go out? Pick an outfit and see what happens.” Vanessa is the protagonist of the second chapter of Andre Miri Cipa. What can the choice of clothing and daily encounters with unsolicited comments tell us about Roma identity?

International Romani Day or a night at the club with friends? In the role of Vanessa, you'll decide whose voice to listen to: Grandma, random passersby, or your own. Is it even possible to feel good in your clothes and avoid sexist and racist commentary at the same time?

Marie's Story

“Try finding a home when the doors are closing before you've even said hello.” Marie is the protagonist of the third chapter of Andre Miri Cipa. What stereotypes impact the running of a Roma household? How can it be so challenging to help a young girl find a new home?

Standing in Marie's shoes, you and your family receive an unexpected notice of eviction from the flat where you've lived for as long as you can remember. You have only one month to move. You go through online rental listings and try to find suitable housing before your little sister is born. For a Romani family, however, finding housing is even harder than for most others.
