Project Description:

THE HUGGAS AND THE LITTLE BOOKIE NOOK

Meet the Oxytocin Team – Home of the Huggas!

If human connection is your art form and hugs are your medium, then you’ve found your tribe. At Huggas Camp, we celebrate warmth, joy, and the sneaky science of oxytocin – that little rush of happiness only a good hug can bring.

Every morning and afternoon, our apron‑clad Huggas prepare to top up the Binnekring with love. Step up to our “Hug Menu” and choose your embrace: gentle squeeze, bear hug, slow melt, or anything in between. Not seeing what you need? Order “off‑menu” – innovation is how new hugs are born! Whether you’re giving or receiving, you’ll leave a little lighter than before.

Our Hug Lounge is the heart of the camp – a soft, glowing nest of cushions, mats, fairy lights, and mellow music. It’s a place to land, recharge, and connect. Makers will find art supplies scattered about, because creativity often blooms when we relax together. The lounge stays open until the night’s last heartbeat drifts to sleep.

Tucked close to the centre is our Bookie Nook, a tiny sanctuary lined with pages and peace. It’s a quiet pocket for anyone needing to rest, reflect, or reset with a story. It’s open daily until 7 pm, perfect for a moment of stillness before the evening revelry begins.

We’re inviting new camp members who believe in the power of presence. If you love to greet strangers like friends, help hold emotional space, create little moments of magic, and keep the hugs flowing – this is your home at AfrikaBurn. Bring your energy, creativity, some camp love, and your best hugs. We’ll provide the rest.

Join the Oxytocin Team — come help us make the desert a little softer.

The Crossing

The Crossing consists of two groupings of elements. A rigid line cuts through the landscape, a boundary that may represent law, structure, or control. Intersecting this line are more organic forms that rise irregularly, as though shaped by wind, erosion, or time. The line may be read as a border or a threshold, a boundary between order and chaos, captivity and freedom, life and death. Movement unfolds across this divide. From one perspective, the passage across the line could represent departure or exile, figures leaving something familiar behind. From another, the same movement may suggest arrival, a transition toward possibility and renewal. The Crossing comes together through shared effort, people learning, experimenting, problem-solving, and physically constructing something at scale. It exists because of a community, for a short time, shaped by the desert and the people within it. As with many desert installations, the sculpture is intended to transform through fire. When it ultimately burns, the work completes its own crossing, shifting from structure into flame, light, and ash.

Switch Off to Switch On

Against the backdrop of intense global noise, we are bringing one of the largest artworks to AfrikaBurn: Switch Off to Switch On. A towering brain-shaped sanctuary designed to help people pause, reconnect, and return to the world with renewed clarity. Participants climb into the structure, enter a quiet interior space of light and sound, and descend via a DNA-inspired helix slide. The journey mirrors the experience many of us seek: stepping away from noise to rediscover our inner signal.

Looking after bees and each other – with real guardrails, not just vibes. 2026 is our second year at AfrikaBurn. We’re taking what worked in 2025 and making it a little cozier and a lot more intentional.
