Hi Kate,
I would love to have the dollhouse as part of an interactive event or gallery exhibit. It’ll depend on how hardy the materials used end up being, which one always has to balance.
When I was a kid I loved designing and endlessly rearranging my dollhouses. I had a dollhouse made out of old ikea shelves and craft paper that I picked out with my mother. I would love to use this project to share that childlike wonder, feeling empowered, place-making, and more, while orienting the audience with restorative and eco-friendly elements, even if more fantastical under the ‘solarpunk’ umbrella.
One other idea to make the element of play more accessible to more folks while still getting to have artistic control for myself is to go the accordion book route and to share the template for free (maybe printing off limited copies for a workshop). The base of the furniture/rooms would be ‘stuck’ in one spot as this would essentially be a pop-up book template, with decoration fluid for whoever wants to make their own.
