You also mentioned that you're looking for some funding for the installation. Team:Deco has some options to help with funding for art installations. It's mentioned in the Call for Arts: <span><a href="https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Deco/CfA" title="https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Deco/CfA" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Deco/CfA</a> I have looped Team:Deco into this e-mail, you can reach out to them at <a href="mailto:deco@lists.why2025.org" target="_blank">deco@lists.why2025.org</a> <br></span>
</div><div><br></div><div>For our friends at Team:Deco, I have copied the info you have supplied to us in the CFP:</div><div>
<span>Rope Labs village is working on a metal suspension frame covered in LEDs that can be used for Shibari performances with a bamboo attached, but also moonlights as a LED swing-set / hangout space with hammocks. We plan to add some sort of interactivity to make it more of an art project, plans are still in progress.<br></span><span>The frame will be used for occasional shibari performances (entirely non-sexual), which we will self organise and add to the schedule at set times, but will also be an LED lit interactive chill spot to hangout and chat when in hammock or swinging chair mode.<br></span><span>We'd love some funding from WHY to go towards the cost of the installation and transport of it to the event.</span><span></span>
