Tracings of Impermanence is a land-based spatial installation for the Tankwa /Karoo desert ecology. The project is conceived as a cartographic sigil created from the earth it stands upon and is raised as a witness to the entanglement of species and forces across time. We propose this structure as an invitation to sense the desert as a living field of forces and lineages: wind, water, heat, dust; migration routes of birds and animals; indigenous flora; the movements of pastoralist peoples suchas the San and Khoekhoe; the treaded path of the voortrekker, and of course an ancient ocean that once covered this basin, leaving mineral memory in the playa.

Discover the buzzing energy of BeeHave, a theme camp that celebrates community, creativity, and connection at AfrikaBurn 2026. Step into a vibrant hive of artistic expression, freedom, and fun. Let your spirit take flight as you join us in our hexagonal oasis, designed to inspire and delight. BeeHave isn’t just a space, it’s an experience, where everyone can contribute to the magic, leaving with a renewed sense of belonging and purpose. We’re a group of humans who care about: Making a warm, welcoming camp that isn’t plug-and-play. Sharing food, fire, art and play in a way that feels held and resourced. 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.
