EDC Project Awards Entrant– Solarpunk Dollhouse
Hi All– This is Alexi putting on my artist hat & hoping I am finally navigating the forum correctly.
The problem I am engaged with:
I am thinking a lot about our capacity to imagine a world where the climate crisis is actually solved. I have found it is incredibly difficult for most people to do. For many, it is easier to imagine the destruction of humanity than humanity living in harmony with nature. There are many who find solace in this ecofascist rhetoric and consider themselves at peace with humanity’s demise. I am interested in adreinne maree brown’s imagination battle– and trying to provide opportunities to imagine the survival of humanity AND nature.
Project:
The project I am proposing is a solarpunk dollhouse.
I believe play is a great space for us to expand our imaginations. The first barbie dreamhouse was incredibly powerful– allowing young women to imagine themselves as single homeowners, yet unheard of at the time. I find a dollhouse is a powerful way for us to imagine new ways to live.
The solarpunk dollhouse could take the form of upcycling a found dollhouse as a single unique interactive sculpture, collaborating with other artists on individual rooms. This could also take the form of making multiple copies of a pop-up book dollhouse, again inviting different artists to take their own illustrative spin on different rooms. I am happy to pursue the latter if it counts as more ‘design oriented.’
