Interested Art & Cart Builders Corner

Project Outline for Cart or Camp Element

Core elements — is it a sculpture, a space, a performance, an interactive experience?
What kind of interactivity does it offer participants?
Materials and structure — anything notable about how it's made or what it's made of?
How does it tie into Love Burn’s values or the current theme (if there is one yet)?
Anything you’ve done before that this builds upon?
Any challenges you're working to address (like accessibility, sustainability, collaboration, etc.)?

This will outline:

Core concept/theme
Key visual elements
Suggested interactive features
Materials & construction ideas
References or inspirations (like artists, pop-up mechanisms, surrealist art styles)
How to make it modular, sturdy, and transportable

Do you have a preferred platform to organize visuals (Pinterest, Miro, Google Drive folder, etc)?
