A combination of two teams with shared ideals, WeMask is a performative structure that relies on its participants to achieve its vision of collectiveness, who will hold up the straw roof. Only then does the cone become a structure, a representation of how a community must work together to achieve its goals since it cannot function without even one of its human ‘walls’. It is only by making decisions together as a collective that WeMask can work: where to place the structure, who must be a wall and who can be a reveller inside the shelter, or even which outsiders are allowed in. But on top of its strong message, the team behind the project is also devoted to sustainable construction, with the roof constructed solely of materials gathered on-site and without the use of any electrical tools.
