FOR THE SHOW TABLEAU WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THERE ARE STILL MANY PLACES AROUND THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT ACCEPTED FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE. THIS LED TO THE IDEA OF CREATING A LIVING ROOM INSPIRED BY A “MODERN TAKE ON BARBIE”, SINCE THE COMPANY OF BARBIE HAS GONE THROUGH A REVOLUTION THE PAST DECADE. BARBIE HAS BECOME MORE INCLUSIVE REGARDING THE DOLLS BODY SHAPE, GENDER ROLES, SEXUALITY, ETHNICITY AND MUCH MORE, WHICH TABLEAU WANTED TO EMBRACE.
FOR THE SHOW TABLEAU INVITED A SERIES OF ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS TO TAKE PART IN THE SHOW BY EITHER CREATING A SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL PIECE OR FINDING A PIECE OF THERE-OWN THAT FOR THEM SYMBOLIZED SOMETHING AROUND IDENTITY AND/OR THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING ALLOWED TO SHOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
