Hi Rosaria,
This is a really fun and colourful idea. I think that you have established some strong imagery and I love the groucho marx imagery.
My major concern is that the action doesn’t directly relate to a climate message.
For everyone here I think the links between capitalism and climate are very very clear, but for the general public, I do not feel like the link is strong enough.
My main concern is that many people will be passing by or busy with a list of stuff to get and not make the link. It would be great if the image could connect their actions to climate change at a glance.
There is a bit of an art to audience participation. You win hearts and minds when you can point to something wrong with the world and get people laughing with you. I think if we want everyone to join, and to be an ally, the interaction must not feel like an attack, but an acknowledgement that we are all stuck in this system and we all need to change it.
I don’t think the dialogue you have written is attacking anyone by the way, but there are a few moments where it could be interpreted that way if it was said in a particular tone.
Please don’t take these enquiries as criticism, more provocation. I love the overarching concept.
While I don’t have a good suggestion for linking your idea and structure to climate yet - I am going to throw a few totally implausible ideas around and see if it gets some better suggestions flowing.
The carts are full of ocean water and plush toy turtles with rubbish around them.
The cart has a burning tree in it?
The cart is filled with dry bones
Or just rubbish and toy animals from the op-shop
