The game “Cinque+” represents an occasion to meet people and it is an artistic project created by Claudio Beorchia to restore personal relationships.
It is a card game played in the Careof spaces with the artist and the curator: an open event to spend time together after the summer. The game is based on themes, characters and moods related to the pandemics and it exorcises the fear for the next autumn.
Besides the recreational and relational aspect, “Cinque+” is also a flexible and informal work tool for educators, teachers and trainers.
“Cinque+” is part of the project “Fuori Bordo”. Before the realization of this game, researchers from Codici Ricerca e Intervento and cheFare interviewed users and people in charge of educational institutions, socio-educational services, cultural organizations and solidarity volunteer associations. The goal was understanding how community relationships acted as lifesavers for marginalization processes that emerged or had been accelerated by social distancing and lockdown.
The curator Matteo Balduzzi and the artist Claudio Beorchia designed and built the game starting from the results of the research, and from the activities carried out in many laboratories around Municipio 5 and Rozzano between October 2021 and March 2022.
The photographic exhibition by Hugo Weber can be visited during the exhibition: it is a documentation of the whole process behind the creation of the game.
