CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Seeking designs for a mobile cultural space

It will be moved around Bengaluru, parked at each site^ for two weeks at a time.

hi,
the concept is wonderful, it will surely bring people together and enrich their experiences and perceptions.
i’m a graphic designer + educator in illinois and i’m doing extensive research in cultural identity in design and i came across this page…
when we make our next visit to bengaluru, we hope to “see” the dot.
best.
