_creative activity for kids and/or adults + aperitivo 17.00 - 21.00
To launch our weekend of events, on Friday 7 June we invite you to join us for a merenda / aperitivo, during which we will propose an interactive activity based on Living, a game created by Enzo Mari and Paolo Gallerani in 1976
Players of any age (participation is optional!) select cards at random from a deck created by LOMI_ based on the principles of the original game. These cards provide the characteristics of an imaginary character players are encouraged to reflect on and in some way document
We will provide pencils and paper and welcome you to contribute to a communal drawing, with sketches or words, something relating to your assigned character
Free participation for kids and adults, no booking required
During the event we will collect donations for Aya Dawoud, a young Gazan woman, and her family @ayaa.daw3

_talk on Enzo Mari with Heidi Mancino + aperitivo 19.00 - 21.00
On Saturday 8 June from 15.00 - 17.00 we will propose an activity for kids and/or adults to explore the concept of construction
Taking inspiration from Enzo Mari’s Autoprogettazione project, for which he developed a range of furniture that can easily be assembled by people without woodworking skills, we will use commonly available materials (paper, card, tape, wood off-cuts) to make miniature furniture or animal forms, to explore playing in 3D and to engage with the basic principles of construction
Participation is free. We can’t host unaccompanied children but parents are also invited to participate. Adults unaccompanied by children are very welcome
Please reserve your space by emailing LOMIstore.co@gmail.com
The materials will be available from 15.00-17.00 but the activity is not structured and has the duration of your choice
