DISPLAY + SHIPPING CRATE
This custom-designed crate doubles as a secure shipping container and an elegant mobile display case for the HOOPLA collection. Built with both sustainability and visibility in mind, the crate acts as a protective vessel during transport and transforms into a striking exhibition platform on site.
Whether stationed in a gallery or rolled into a public plaza, this mobile display crate will allow HOOPLA to safely and sustainably travel between venues, expanding HOOPLAs reach to underserved communities and maximizing public engagement through pop-up exhibitions and workshops.

Requested Funding:
$340.00
Requested funding will directly support the design, fabrication, and implementation of a custom mobile display and shipping crate for the HOOPLA project. Funds will be used to purchase sustainable building materials—including reclaimed wood, corrugated plastic panels, hardware, and LED lighting—as well as essential components like casters and mounting systems. This support will also cover basic fabrication labor and transport needs. The resulting structure will not only protect the wearable sculptures during travel but also serve as a versatile and engaging exhibition unit that brings HOOPLA into galleries, community spaces, and public events with minimal environmental impact.
