Community Project Directory

A Community Directory? Really? Finally?

Yes. Now you can register your project, and get people to be involved!

Needed: We are looking for the Travelers, the Explorers and the Desert Lovers. We have no specific requirements except of willingness to accept the other Camp Members ( and Burners at large) as they are. Nationality, religion, ethnicity etc should not matter in the Dust. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination.

Bombocart

TL/DR: Bringing a mutant vehicle to AfrikaBurn: a wall of speakers, pulled by a post apocalyptic trike. We are building a mutant vehicle consisting of a Mad Max style trike, pulling a small...

Click to read more
Needed: Most urgently we are looking for a mechanic who can get our trike to run (it has a poked gearbox, amongst other issues) and can keep it running throughout the burn. Second most urgent is someone with welding skills to make sure our trike can pull our trailer and that our trailer is sufficiently strong to carry our sound system. We have some very good decorators in our team already, but we could definitely use a helping hand in making our trike and trailer look like they belong at AfrikaBurn (and can pass DMV inspection). As the sound system is the main feature of our mutant, any help on that front would be very welcome: we want to build an old school wall of (passive) speakers, preferably old looking, but great sounding. So we will need amplifiers, crossovers, battery power, an inverter, and who knows what else. If any of those things are your speciality, please get in touch! Last, but not least we need help with raising the funds to make all of this happen. We have social media accounts and are currently running a Thundafund campaign, but we could use some help in managing all of these. Which would be a great role if you aren’t in Cape Town, since it would mainly be online.

Fowl Play

Our art project is two parts (one is a secret 😉) but we’d like help with part 2: The Guerilla Pop-Up Birds Here’s the idea: It’s a bird take-over of the Burn! We...

Needed: Anyone happy to craft. No experience or artistic skills required 🙂 For reference: A single bird takes 4-5 hours to make (2 sessions, roughly 2 hours each), so we just need more hands/time!

The Bringer of Light

A monumental sculptural figure strides forward through invisible resistance. One hand shields a heart-shaped opening cut through the chest, while the other grips a staff planted firmly into the ground. Its posture...

Needed: We are looking for a fun, motivated group of 4 to 6 people who have a sense of humor, aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, and don’t get frustrated when things don’t go according to plan. No special technical expertise is needed, but quite a lot of screw will have to be driven in.
