The 2022 Tankwa Town Map was designed by Kayla Grove.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Please note: The AfrikaBurn event site has rather large areas that are quite sandy and we’ve marked them as best we can on the 2022 event map. These areas are great for building sandcastles and having a beach picnic, but not great for your camps. It may look super tempting but you’ll get your vehicles stuck and there’s not enough hard ground to fix your camp to. Quaggafontein will be as windy as Stonehenge so if you camp here, there is a high chance your tent will become a kite and every meal you make will have a nice crunchy texture. '''Please don’t camp in these sandy areas -''' there is so much space at Quaggafontein - build your kraals where you can hold onto the ground.<br />

== Theme Camps ==<br />
'''This is how it works: everything you see in Tankwa Town – including all the Artworks, Theme Camps, Mutant Vehicles and associated items have been created by people just like you, who have worked their sweet asses off to create something special.''' <br />
<br />
'''Like everything at AfrikaBurn, Theme Camps are subject to change at all times … where camps have not given specific times of their activity, please feel free to pop past and ask politely when they’d like you to participate with them.''' <br />
<br />
<br />

We are 404, the lost clutter of imagination. 404 is a place of confusion. Where are we? What's going on? How did we get here? Why did we get here?

<br />

'''1. The Clan’22: Clancestors''' <br />
<br />
'''Collective: Tree of Stories Crew'''<br />
<br />
In 2007 a seed was planted deep in the Tankwa desert. Despite its harsh environment, and eventually being transplanted, AfrikaBurn survived and continues to grow. The 2022 Clan, ‘Clancestors’, pays tribute to the first Burn ‘Tribe’, the original spark that set our minds ablaze. Made from parts of the Tree of Stories broken off in the whirlwind of the past 3 years. To symbolise this, 3 groups of signifiers representing What Was, What Is and What Will Be, stand atop a tornado base.<br />
<br />
'''35. Tree of Stories'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Laurence, Kai, Ivan, Thomas, Kim, Mark & the Tree Crew'''<br />
<br />
What Was. The Tree began life as the 2020 Clan (last Clan of Stonehenge). This mighty tree was envisioned to say goodbye to the place where the seed was planted, honour our tribes and thank the sacred land. Roots: connecting us to the history of 13 Burns. Trunk: hollowed out, filled with cave paintings, tributes to the artistic wonders. Branches: sending us out as leaves dancing in the winds of the future.<br />
<br />
What Is. Unable to be built at Stonehenge, it was transplanted. Unsure of how big AfrikaBurn 2022 would be, it was transformed into the Tree of Stories and Clancestors. Now it stands at Quaggafontein, full of memories, rekindling our fires. Not to be burned immediately. Only once our community can fully gather again. A beacon of light to guide us back.<br />
<br />
What Will Be. The Tree is incomplete and will continue to grow over the next few years. We invite the comunitree to participate and come up with posibilitrees for its future.<br />
<br />
'''3. BLA Sound Station'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The BLA BLA BLA car'''<br />
<br />
The iconic BLA frame as a stationary art piece on the Binnekring, playing Radio Free Tankwa. It will be a shady spot where people can sit, relax, get out of the sun and enjoy the tunes. We will have pillows and shade for a relaxing time. Be good, be bold and be honest like your mama told you to.<br />
<br />
'''6. Camera Obscura'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Cinema Obscura'''<br />
<br />
Come and explore the ancient scientific phenomenon which forms the basis of all photography. Enter the climate controlled interior and chill out while enjoying a live view of AfrikaBurn and its participants. While there, charge your devices at the solar powered charging station or help to decorate the Camera Obscura's exterior.<br />
<br />
'''26. Connection'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Connection Collective'''<br />
<br />
Everyone has a story to tell and we want to hear yours! A near death experience, a love story, your greatest adventure, something that altered the course of your life, how you overcame a major challenge etc. Connection is a place for people to gather and share their stories, CONNECT, even possibly fall in love with a stranger. At night, the radiating LED heart only works when 4 people are holding the cables simultaneously. At sunset, we have storytellers scintillating us with spoken words. Come and add your twist to the tales. We would love to meet you!<br />
<br />
'''33. Doune Cocoon'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The IKHTLALABL collective'''<br />
<br />
It's not a shelter, it's a living artwork whose life is the energy of people passing through it. It is a symbol of our deep dependence on the immediate good care of our surroundings and environment. This entity envelopes you and makes you feel safe with its cocoon shape, while its ‘inverted column’ creates a glow of light for you, which at night is like a beacon seen from afar.<br />
<br />
'''16. Dragon Mania'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Dragon Mania'''<br />
<br />
Throughout our history, we have told stories of magic and power; calling them myths and legends to appease our fear of the unknown, we all know that these ‘stories’ have roots far deeper than we could ever comprehend. Abrasax is one such legend, cast far into the realms of make believe, magic and mythology. As old as time itself, believed to have been present during the Big Bang, if not the source of it, Abrasax has been here every step of the way in the universe's journey, darkly intimidating and shrouded in mystery.<br />
<br />
'''25. Dream a Little Dream'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Dream a Little Dream 2022 Collective'''<br />
<br />
We're bringing the stars down to the ground for 2022 in honour of a beautiful song, a wish of love and protection. Please join us Wednesday through Saturday, as the sky darkens under the most magnificent of starry Tankwa ballrooms.<br />
<br />
'''9. Duckeract'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Camp 404'''<br />
<br />
Infinity is an unfathomable expanse within a contextually small space enriched with chaos. Logically, the only representation fitting, is a duck. The Duckeract is the representation of multidimensional chaos, in duck form.<br />
<br />
'''10. dɪˈzʌɪə'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Diaphanous Disco'''<br />
<br />
What is your yearning, your craving, your hankering, your longing? What will make your soul take flight? What is your wish upon this sun and these stars, dear sister and brother? For now is the time … so much dɪˈzʌɪə on the Binnekring, and such timelessness to make it true … take a seat here on her bench and let a Street Light Named dɪˈzʌɪə anoint your dɪˈzʌɪə in the light. Let it take flight.<br />
<br />
'''14. Ego Check Booth'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Ego Check Booth'''<br />
<br />
Are you tired of dragging your ego around? Is some part of your ego weighing you down? Perhaps what you need is an ego check. It’s like a coat check, but for your ego. Hours of operation vary. <br />
<br />
'''36. Ephemeropoly (invisible version)'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: D Camp''' <br />
<br />
Entertaining families, strengthening the gifting economy and tickling Burner's funny bones since 2019 ... participants love the roller-coaster ride to nowhere. Pass Triple Bypass, land on DPW, volunteer throughout, and you might just have the experience of your dreams ... or you might end up in Sanctuary! Whatever happens, it's fun all the way to the end (when you've had enough)! Everyone is welcome to join in with 121 metres squared of life size parody. This time it's got more levels, it's infinitely harder and it's 100% invisible.<br />
<br />
'''7. foREst'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The foREst Collective'''<br />
<br />
An homage to reforestation, rest, and handworked arts. A place to sit, rest, and be surprised and delighted. From the collective who brought you the Octopus's Garden.<br />
<br />
'''30. Gaia's Song'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Gaia's Song Collective'''<br />
<br />
Gaia’s Song is a Temple to the sublime life impulse. It is a place of deep listening, inward to one's own unique song and outward to the song of life that calls us into existence, the voice of Gaia. It is a sounding board to deepen our appreciation of the consequences of becoming co-creators of reality. It is a place to create connections to life’s vital force and forge a love bond to care for all life and our earth home. A place to reflect on our present circumstance, while honouring what has passed and what is still to come.<br />
<br />
'''8. Goddess Cast'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Steampunk Saloon'''<br />
<br />
Focusing on body positivity and having a healthy relationship with ourselves ... mind, body and soul ... this art project encourages Burners to break ties with the parts of ourselves that hurt us and bring us down, and confront the parts of us we want to hide from and heal from.<br />
<br />
'''21. iLukuluku Temple of Curiosity'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: iLukuluku'''<br />
<br />
Rising from the blank canvas on the new horizons of the new land, iLukuluku will present all with an opportunity to unleash their inner child, and will reward curiosity with unique and spectacular surprises. Created to host performances and designed with ritual in mind, the iLukuluku Temple of Curiosity is designed to compel participants to investigate its many layers and chambers – some of which are dead ends, and others lead to secrets and surprises. Step up and explore, your curiosity will be rewarded in spades!<br />
<br />
'''20. In the Land of Magical Creatures'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Forest of Our Minds'''<br />
<br />
These magical creatures' feet are obscure, naked and have legs stretching into the sky. This suggests a giant bird body hovers high above in the clouds. It is important to note that these feet also provide crucial hollows and caves to nestle and cuddle against whilst crouched under the feathers of the mother bird. It is, therefore, highly likely that if one finds oneself cosily leaning against the armoured wrinkled skin of the beast, that <br />
<br />
one could assume that you too are a magical creature; a creature that has been hatched into this world to instigate and recognise wonder everywhere.<br />
<br />
'''29. Loch Ness Cobra'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Loch Ness Cobra Collective'''<br />
<br />
Something that looks as beautiful as a skeleton as it did alive, a cobra skeleton that disappears in and out of the ground ... like the Loch Ness monster.<br />
<br />
'''40. Love Experiment'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Love Experiment Collective'''<br />
<br />
Come participate in the Love Experiment - where any two strangers can fall in love.<br />
<br />
'''19. Mmmamosetsanyana'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Ke Mmmamosetsanyana Collective'''<br />
<br />
The Batswana history, language and culture is often under-represented in the traditional art space. Batswana are very pivotal in the liberation of South Africa through the work done by various prominent figures such as Solomon Thekiso Plaatjie, Kgosi Morolong, James Moroka, etc. The Cradle of Mankind in Maropeng also proves that life began in the Batswana region in Northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, in the Gauteng Province as the oldest remains of humankind (Homo Naledi) were discovered there. <br />
<br />
'''37. Oasis'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Oasis Collective'''<br />
<br />
A brief stop on the journey to your dreams. It's like stepping back inside a room you <br />
<br />
have fond memories of; one you have long not seen.<br />
<br />
'''32. Par la Sol'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Par la Sol Collective'''<br />
<br />
You wander upon a mirage in the desert, are those palm trees? Oh no it's parasols providing much needed shade. Are you feeling in an introspective, individual or group mood? Pick whatever social setting you're craving and take a seat.<br />
<br />
'''23. Protea 2022y'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Protea Collective'''<br />
<br />
(re)building a sculpture that doubles as a viewing platform. It's a 2.5m tall protea flower made from wood that can support about 6 people on top of it for a view of the desert.<br />
<br />
'''39. R.I.P. 2022'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The R.I.P. 2022 Collective'''<br />
<br />
R.I.P. (In memorable honour of Antoinette Murdoch 08/09/1972 ~ 10/07/2020) ‘And I’ll be waiting for you until we meet again.’<br />
<br />
'''34. Red'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Red Collective'''<br />
<br />
This piece started off as an attempt to answer the question: 'Why don't we make something fall up, instead of down, when it burns?' For the cancelled event of 2020 it became an experiment in choreographed moving fire. In the two years since, it has been decided that the piece will only be burnt in 2023 and that this year fire will not be a part of it. Although relatively static for most of the event, there will be some of those little lights that we like so much and bouts of gravity induced movement, as well as changes in layout.<br />
<br />
'''11. The Chamber of Reflection'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: ArtSluts'''<br />
<br />
Come to contemplate life, privilege, art, ego, nature, 42, scroll on your phone, write a note to share with the world in the Chamber of Reflection.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''36. The Emperor's New Artwork'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: D Camp'''<br />
<br />
A beautiful artwork that's hard to spot. Made from the most expensive materials, by the greatest craftsmen in Tankwa Town. Only true Tankwa Town participants can see the quality and craft, it's the best artwork to look at in the sunset and you need to be this high to climb on board.<br />
[[File:Spiky Artwork.jpg|thumb|498x498px|Image: Sean Furlong]]<br />
'''15. The Fallen Star'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Fallen Star'''<br />
<br />
Imagine if an alien cyborg star fell from the sky. Spinning and it falls and hits the Earth. As it hits, it shatters into digital colour that illuminates through space.<br />
<br />
'''18. The Other Thing'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Red Collective'''<br />
<br />
The other thing: Just couldn’t resist making something to burn. (Or making something pointy. Or making something round.)<br />
<br />
'''4. The Man in the Hat'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: ArtCom''' <br />
<br />
On the night our Temple burned four years ago (28th April, 2018) Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey passed away. Known for wearing a grey Stetson hat in honour of his father. In 1986 Larry and some friends had the impulse to create an effigy of a man and drag it down to Baker Beach in San Francisco to burn it. His impulse and readiness to react to the rich non-conformist, playful, pranksterish environment in which he did it led to the creation of Burning Man, regional burns and in turn AfrikaBurn.<br />
<br />
'''17. The Rising Sun'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Rising Sun'''<br />
<br />
As a star falls, the sun rises … ok, thanks, this is all I want to say.<br />
<br />
'''13. The Spider from Mars'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Spider from Mars Collective'''<br />
<br />
The Spider from Mars returns. So chill underneath or just watch while coloured lights pulse up and down the legs.<br />
<br />
'''5. The Teleporter Dome SA'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Tea & Crumpets'''<br />
<br />
'The Teleporter’ is a reproduction system for Immersive Audio recordings and spatial audio performances, housed within a 4m diameter 5/8 3 frequency geodesic dome. The name is suggestive of spatial audio’s capacity to transport listeners into a virtual immersive space. The Teleporter aims to offer listeners the experience of being in a coherent sonic space, invoking as close as possible the soundscape at point of capture by the microphone.<br />
<br />
'''2. The Vaginarium of Dreams'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Vaginarium of Dreams Collective'''<br />
<br />
A giant yoni in the desert. But it is also a slide. We’ve built a giant, wooden vagina slide. Why? To celebrate femininity, sensuality, love, strength, power, beauty, resilience, courage, community and creation. Slide down and ponder all you love and appreciate about the women in your life. Under the stairs you’ll find a safe space where we will gather to share and receive ancient teachings and wisdom of the divine feminine through guided talks and sacred ceremonies. Come write stories or paint a picture as an ode to your unique flower. As always, come as you are.<br />
<br />
'''38. Tiers of the Tankwa'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Bergkamp Collective'''<br />
<br />
A kinetic mobile, dancing to the winds of the Tankwa. Created from scrap metal collected on farmlands in the Tankwa and wider Karoo areas. Inspired by the events that led to the degradation of the Tankwa landscape that we experience today. How sustainable nomadic farming practices were succeeded by industrial scale extractive methods, to leave the veld denuded and severely damaged. Quaggafontein's history is very much a part of the Tankwa story. This artwork is an invitation to connect to that story.<br />
<br />
'''12. Triple Bypass'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Charlie Smith & Team'''<br />
<br />
The very first artwork built for AfrikaBurn. Built by US artist Charlie Smith in 2007, the Triple Bypass warms your heart, and might fall on your head.<br />
<br />
'''27. Twisted Da Vinci'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Die Brandnetels'''<br />
<br />
The colourful triangles are back, just the way they've always wanted to be arranged … in a triangle. See if you can find the focal point. Come chill in and around the Da Vinci self-supporting dome structures. Wait for the sun to set to see the tube of lights come alive.<br />
<br />
'''28. Ubuhlanti Stage'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Ubuhlanti Collective'''<br />
<br />
Ubuhlanti Stage is a diverse platform created by an international community inspired by Bridges For Music and the great work of uplifting young talents from disadvantaged communities. The Stage will be a Kraal/Ubuhlanti. This will be created using tree branches and poles in a circular shape. This will allow Burners to enjoy the offering of music in the space. Around the structure we will be building 4 informal structures which will be showcasing the different ways that shacks are used in different communities.<br />
<br />
'''Viral taxi Ranks (Roaming)'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: The Viral taxi Ranks collective'''<br />
<br />
These taxi ranks will act as pickup points for the Viral taxi mutant vehicles. A taxi rank will be burned each night from Thursday night ... appropriately named omicron, delta, covid and flu. You might not get to where you wanna go but it will be a hellofa ride.<br />
<br />
'''31. Windcatcher II'''<br />
<br />
'''Collective: Windcatcher II'''<br />
<br />
Windcatcher II is a wind-sound art project that first debuted at AfrikaBurn 2014. It is an Aeolian long-line, a cord strung across the wind that sings through a drum-skin and amplifier cone. Aeolian instruments have been in use for thousands of years. For 2022 we have reimagined the structure, learning from the experience of re-staging the work over the intervening years to create a minimal version with all the right pieces and no more. Come listen to the voice of the wind!<br />
<br />
== Performances ==<br />
'''Remember this: everything in our city is subject to the mighty “–ish”. If the weather decides, then things will change, and so will anything scheduled. Mother Nature calls the shots out here. Listen to your Mother, she knows best (and watch her carefully, if you plan to make a date to catch any of the events listed here). If the listing doesn’t show a time, head over to the location and check in with the crew responsible. Another good idea is to head over to Off Centre Camp (OCC) and check the chalkboards there or enquire at the Arteria booth.'''<br />

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1230848117010749<br />
<br />

<br />
https://www.facebook.com/Pedalsforpeace/<br />
<br />
=== What about kids? ===<br />
Kids (14 years and younger) & minors (15 – 17 years old) entering the event: <br />
<br />
Anyone under the age of 18 entering the event needs to be accompanied by an adult 28 years or older. Parents/legal guardians or elected guardians 28 years and older are only allowed to accompany a maximum of 4 kids/minors to the event. This is to ensure that there’s enough adult supervision of kids/minors onsite. <br />
<br />
The Box Office Crew will request who the guardian is of all under age kids/minors entering the event. Once this person has been identified, we’ll link the guardian/parents’ wrist band to the kid/minors’ wrist band that they will be supervising onsite. <br />
<br />
If you know what your Tankwa Town address is, please come prepared with that information so that we can record those details against your name/wrist band on the database. <br />
<br />
Kids Tickets are available to purchase at the gate (R499). Minor Tickets are not. Cash and card accepted. <br />

=== '''What documentation will you need to access the event?''' ===<br />
<br />
* A valid barcoded AfrikaBurn ticket. The name on your ticket needs to match the name in your ID/Passport, and the face in your passport needs to match the face peering through the Box Office window at us. <br />
* A Vehicle Pass for the vehicle you are travelling in. (Vehicle Passes are available to purchase at the gate for R300/R400. Cash and card facilities are available)<br />
* '''Early Arrival:''' If you are arriving before gates officially open on Monday 25th April, then you need to be in possession of a Work Access Pass (WAP) which you will have received from your creative project lead or the Volunteer Portfolio. Kids and minors do not require a WAP. *<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> WAPS include a Vehicle Pass however WAPS will not be accepted as a Vehicle Pass after Sunday 24th April. Crew passes include a WAP and a Vehicle Pass. <br />
<br />
Please ensure that your ticket/s are either printed out or downloaded on your phone. Any form of WiFi or mobile internet disappears the moment you hit the dust road. Don’t rely on it. Please also make sure that if all your ticket-related admin is on your phone or tablet, that this device does not run out of battery before you arrive at the gate.<br />
<br />
=== '''COVID-19 - What are the entry requirements?''' ===<br />
You are attending an event with over 2000 participants. Meaning, under the current national regulations, you will be required to present either a '''vaccination certificate OR a negative COVID-19 Test at the AfrikaBurn event gate starting from Wednesday 20 April.'''<br />
<br />
* '''Vaccine Certificate''': A valid vaccine certificate showing you are fully vaccinated either in electronic form or your stamped paper certificate received when you were vaccinated.<br />
* '''Negative COVID-19 test''': A valid certificate of a negative COVID-19 test, recognised by the World Health Organisation, which was obtained not more than '''72 hours''' before the date of arrival at the AfrikaBurn Gate. Please note all negative COVID-19 tests require a valid certificate. '''Home tests purchased from a pharmacy (usually lateral flow tests) will not be accepted at the gate because they do not come with a certificate. You have to cover the cost of the test if you need one.'''<br />
<br />
Proof of immunity or vaccine exemption is unfortunately not valid under government regulations, you will need to present a negative COVID-19 test in this instance.<br />
<br />
'''Kids:''' Unvaccinated kids older than 5 years will also need to present either a negative COVID-19 test or a vaccination certificate as above. Again, this is as per current South African government regulations.<br />
<br />
'''Most importantly, if you are feeling sick in the lead up to your departure to AfrikaBurn please stay at home until you are better and can produce a negative COVID-19 test.''' <br />
<br />
'''Gastro''' has also been doing the rounds in Cape Town recently. Please practice the same caution when departing for the AfrikaBurn event site. If you have any of the gastro symptoms (upset stomach and vomiting and/or nausea) please stay at home. '''Gastro is more destructive onsite at AfrikaBurn than COVID would be.

<br />
== '''As you prepare for the desert, remember that you're responsible for YOURSELF at all times.''' ==<br />
Use lots of common sense: you need to bring everything you need to the desert, including all food, water, shelter, fuel, and basic first aid. And then you need to take it all back – because this is a '''Leave No Trace''' event.<br />
<br />
Before you arrive, make sure you have your '''TICKET''' - printed or on a phone / device (with battery). Make 100% sure your name is on your ticket, and that you bring photo ID to the gate with you. Our gate crew will need this to verify your ticket and can’t let you in if the details on your ID and ticket don’t match.<br />
<br />
== '''Essentials''' ==<br />
'''THIS AIN’T NO PARTY. THIS AIN’T NO DISCO. THIS IS ONE SERIOUS DESERT FANDANGO AND YOU MUST BRING:'''<br />
<br />
- Your ticket & photo ID for entry (SA ID, driver’s licence or passport) – ensure the name on your ticket is the same name on your ID/Passport.<br />
<br />
- Vehicle Pass (one per vehicle). Caravans and trailers don’t need a VP but motorcycles do.<br />
<br />
- 5 litres of water per person per day - carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly. <br />
<br />
- Enough food and beverages for the duration of your entire stay.<br />
<br />
- Shelter, bedding, and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
<br />
- Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear). It might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours.<br />
<br />
- Trash bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
<br />
- Fire extinguisher.<br />
<br />
- Comprehensive medical aid kit. Any required prescriptions (please note: our medics don’t dispense painkillers, headache tabs or antibiotics)<br />
<br />
- Lighting: a headlamp, torch, bike light, fairy lights, EL wire (and spare batteries). Solar lights rock – find ‘em & use ‘em.<br />
<br />
- Duct tape & cable ties – because they hold the universe together!<br />
<br />
- Bringing wood? Bring a brazier or braai - '''campfires on the ground are NOT permitted.'''<br />
<br />
- Recycling bins: you’ll need one for wet waste, and others for paper, plastic and metal / glass. Check out local area recycling depots, and use them on your way home – there’s nowhere for you to leave your trash on site.<br />
<br />
== '''Do NOT bring''' ==<br />
Sure, it’s a burn you’re going to, but there are some items that are seriously not wanted at the event, and all for the same reason: they’re dangerous, either as mobile arson, or to critters. Not lekker.<br />
<br />
- Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind. <br />
<br />
- Glitter (even bio-degradeable, because others can’t tell whether it’s degradeable, and will assume all glitter’s ok, which results in horrifically difficult clean-ups for Leave No Trace Volunteers)<br />
<br />
- Flares, Fireworks, Fire lanterns, explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns. <br />
<br />
- Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
<br />
- Plants and pets of any kind. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
<br />
- [https://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/4zee5i/whats_the_origin_of_the_term_sparkle_pony/ Sparkle Ponies] <br />
== '''Highly Recommended''' ==<br />
<br />
- Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
<br />
- Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for nighttime cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
<br />
- A portable shower.<br />
<br />
- Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
<br />
- Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect).<br />
<br />
- An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />
<br />
- Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Tankwa Town is a decommodified space, and all who come through the gate are encouraged to participate in both the work and the play. Our Supplier Process has been designed to facilitate projects and suppliers on site in a way that aligns as far as possible with the guiding principles of the Burn. <br />
<br />
Suppliers are companies who have clients hiring items for the AfrikaBurn event '''which are to be delivered and/or set up onsite in the Tankwa Karoo at the event site.''' <br />
<br />
== '''Suppliers & Plug & Play''' ==<br />
Plug & Play Camps – which are in effect private hotels – are not permitted at our event.<br />
<br />
Outsourcing the effort by having paid staff to set up a camp completely, sidesteps fundamental aspects of a burn, diluting the ethos and point of the exercise…if you’re doing this, you’re denying yourself the full experience and stand a good chance of being prevented from setting up a camp of a similar nature in the future.<br />
<br />
To put it simply: essential set- up services are OK to outsource, but paid staff (including cleaners, chefs or other staff) are not. This also means that you’re expected to get involved, and not just be a spectator when your supplier arrives on site to deliver the services/ goods you have arranged.<br />
<br />
Please help support the culture of AfrikaBurn – don’t engage in “plug and play” scenarios. At AfrikaBurn, there’s no ‘someone else’ that builds Tankwa Town: every person is expected to build, clean and then break down their camp.<br />
<br />
'''Participants providing Plug and Play camping may forfeit their right to return to Tankwa Town again.''' <br />
<br />
'''Suppliers supporting or servicing plug and play camps will face hefty penalties, including the forfeit of their deposit and/or access to the event in the future.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Please note: '''No supplier is allowed to provide showers at the AfrikaBurn event.''' AfrikaBurn attendees are expected to build their own shower if this is something they’d like to have as part of their camp.<br />
<br />
== '''Supplier Registration Process''' ==<br />
The onus is on you to ensure that your supplier complies with the supplier procedure AfrikaBurn has put in place. <br />
<br />
To have a supplier provide a service to you onsite, you need to ensure that you have followed and adhered to the following procedure:<br />
<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeefXt11Ha9-sbOsFl4SZ7LzGlnvwd2PE0UU31n02H_H6tDPA/viewform Register your supplier HERE.] '''DEADLINE TO REGISTER: THURSDAY 31 MARCH 2022.'''<br />
<br />
AfrikaBurn will get in touch with your supplier to ensure that they get the correct information to ensure smooth entry into the event.<br />
<br />
Take note of where the Supplier Depot is when you arrive on site. You will need to fetch your supplier from the depot and escort them to your campsite.<br />
<br />
Practice radical self-reliance and arrange a date and time in which to meet your supplier onsite at the Supplier Depot.<br />
<br />
Check that your supplier has the correct credentials to access the event (don’t assume they’ve sorted this themselves).<br />
<br />
Arrange that at least 2 people from your camp are present to assist your supplier when they arrive at your campsite to deliver the service you have requested.<br />
<br />
Ensure that at least 2 people remain onsite to assist your supplier to pack up the service they have provided you.<br />
<br />
'''REMEMBER:''' Suppliers and service providers have a tendency to bring default world thinking into Tankwa Town, and that kind of “service mentality” has no place in or around our beloved Binnekring.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>== '''<big>Everything is going to be different in 2022.</big>''' ==<br />
After [https://www.afrikaburn.com/latest-news/afrikaburn-2020-cancellation-statement cancelling AfrikaBurn in both 2020 and 2021], it's assumed that the event in 2022 will continue to be [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00396-2 impacted] by the global coronavirus pandemic. Because of this (and South African government coronavirus legislation), the 2022 event is going to be much smaller than usual with a planned 5000 participants which is about 50% of usual capacity. <br />
<br />
AfrikaBurn 2022 will also be the first time we have the event on [https://land.afrikaburn.com/ Quaggafontein]. This will likely make some things at the event easier and some things much harder. It's pretty much a reset for everything we knew about the event when it was held at Stonehenge in previous years. The terrain on Quaggafontein is much the same same but different, there may be sections of deep sand (It's a desert!), hard rock and goodness knows what else to deal with. <br />
<br />
[[File:Square LOGO BG.png|thumb|An ongoing work in progress ... AfrikaBurn.]]<br />
<br />
== '''<big>Come to AfrikaBurn 2022 with an open mind and an open heart.</big>''' ==<br />
2022 is the blank canvas that we've always dreamed of, and we think the changes coming in 2022 may actually be harder to deal with if you're an experienced participant of AfrikaBurn ... You may have had a favourite spot where you usually camp, the route you like to take exploring etc. and now all of that familiarity has gone. <br />
<br />
Remember that AfrikaBurn was always better last year (or the year before you participated) and it's our collective responsibility to make sure that the evolution and experimentation continues in 2022 and beyond. With a whole new Tankwa town being built from scratch in 2022 it's going to be equal amounts of exciting and challenging for old and new burners alike. <br />

If you need information on [https://tickets.afrikaburn.com/ Tickets for 2022]<br />
<br />
== '''<big>Covid-19 at AfrikaBurn 2022.</big>''' ==<br />
There is a section on the ‘expected' Covid policy on the ticketing website: [https://tickets.afrikaburn.com/ Covid Update and Refund Policy]<br />
<br />
It’s hard to pin down what the exact Covid requirements are going to be in April 2022, because we will be following our South African Governments Covid policy and not necessarily creating our own.

<div>== <big>'''Everything is going to be different in 2022.'''</big> ==<br />
After [https://www.afrikaburn.com/latest-news/afrikaburn-2020-cancellation-statement cancelling AfrikaBurn in both 2020 and 2021], it's assumed that the event in 2022 will continue to be [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00396-2 impacted] by the global coronavirus pandemic. Because of this (and South African government coronavirus legislation), the 2022 event is going to be much smaller than usual with a planned 5000 participants which is about 50% of usual capacity. <br />
<br />
AfrikaBurn 2022 will also be the first time we have the event on [https://land.afrikaburn.com/ Quaggafontein]. This will likely make some things at the event easier and some things much harder. It's pretty much a reset for everything we knew about the event when it was held at Stonehenge in previous years. The terrain on Quaggafontein is much the same same but different, there may be sections of deep sand (It's a desert!), hard rock and goodness knows what else to deal with. <br />

== '''Come to AfrikaBurn 2022 with an open mind and an open heart.''' ==<br />
2022 is the blank canvas that we've always dreamed of, and we think the changes coming in 2022 may actually be harder to deal with if you're an experienced participant of AfrikaBurn ... You may have had a favourite spot where you usually camp, the route you like to take exploring etc. and now all of that familiarity has gone. <br />
<br />
Remember that AfrikaBurn was always better last year (or the year before you participated) and it's our collective responsibility to make sure that the evolution and experimentation continues in 2022 and beyond. With a whole new Tankwa town being built from scratch in 2022 it's going to be equal amounts of exciting and challenging for old and new burners alike. <br />

So, if you’re coming from parts of the country that aren’t affected by shortages, get your water there. If you’re coming from an area that is faced with shortages, try to source water from springs or at a push, stock up on bottled water, ethically sourced from places where water isn’t an issue.

'''You made it!''' '''[[MAPS|Are you at the right place?]]''' Take a deep breath and take in your surroundings. The first thing that will usually happen as you arrive is the gifting of a loving welcome from a volunteer or marshall who will funnel you into a lane where you can park, so you can go and check in at the ticketing and entrance gate. Your car may also be checked for stowaways and safety, towing etc. before you drive through into Tankwa Town. <br />
<br />
If you arrive with someone in your car who doesn’t have a ticket, it will be your responsibility to transport that person back home, so please make sure everyone in your vehicle has a ticket. This includes anyone you pick up along the way, and offer to transport into the event!<br />
<br />

Tankwa Town is [https://www.afrikaburn.com/the-event/event-maps usually laid out in a horseshoe shape], with two projecting ‘horns’ at the top, and a long tail that stretches down. In our new home at Quaggafontein it's likely that the design of Tankwa Town will be quite different and change from year to year as we grow and explore our new surroundings. The centre of Tankwa Town is always called the Binnekring (not the Playa!), and it’s where a lot of the art is placed.<br />
[[File:AfrikaBurn22 MAP QUAG.jpg|thumb|373x373px|The Tankwa Town map for 2022, (click to enlarge)]]<br />
The road that fronts this central space is called the 'Binnekring Road', and the streets that radiate off the Binnekring are numbered like the hours on a clock, from 1-ish through to 11-ish. '''This way, once you’ve found your camping spot for the event, you’ll have an address if you get lost.''' For example, you could be living at ‘Buitekring and 3:30-ish’. We have signs and street lamps to help you figure out where the hell you are.<br />
The roads are also named in alphabetical order radiating outwards from Binnekring. These names do change every year according to the theme of that year (except for Binnekring Rd, Buitekring Rd, Lady Davina Boulevard, Stofadil Rd, Nansen Street and the radials.)<br />
<br />
Lots of participants also make sure that their campsites are easily recognisable from afar. You'll find that all the tents and camps start to look the same when they are covered in dust. Why not bring a flag or [https://soundcloud.com/atarax_music/afrika-burn-2018-sunset-le-petit-paris Eiffel Tower] along to AfrikaBurn to help you find your way home?<br />

Those signs that state ‘NO CAMPING BEYOND THIS POINT’? They’re there to protect the Tankwa, and to protect you!<br />

Be prepared for extremes in Tankwa Town: the weather is unpredictable, and rain far away can cause instant flash floods. In 2012, rapid flooding saw many tents and vehicles damaged. <br />

<br />
== '''AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE DESERT, REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.''' ==<br />
Use lots of common sense: you need to bring everything you need to the desert, including all food, water, shelter, fuel, and basic first aid. And then you need to take it all back – because this is a '''Leave No Trace''' event.<br />
<br />
Before you arrive, make sure you have your '''TICKET''' - printed or on a phone / device (with battery). Make 100% sure your name is on your ticket, and that you bring photo ID to the gate with you. Our gate crew will need this to verify your ticket and can’t let you in if the details on your ID and ticket don’t match.<br />
<br />
== '''ESSENTIALS''' ==<br />
'''THIS AIN’T NO PARTY. THIS AIN’T NO DISCO. THIS IS ONE SERIOUS DESERT FANDANGO AND YOU MUST BRING:'''<br />
<br />
- Your ticket & photo ID for entry (SA ID, driver’s licence or passport) – ensure the name on your ticket is the same name on your ID/Passport.<br />
<br />
- Vehicle Pass (one per vehicle). Caravans and trailers don’t need a VP but motorcycles do.<br />
<br />
- 5 litres of water per person per day - carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly. <br />
<br />
- Enough food and beverages for the duration of your entire stay.<br />
<br />
- Shelter, bedding, and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
<br />
- Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear). It might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours.<br />
<br />
- Trash bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
<br />
- Fire extinguisher.<br />
<br />
- Comprehensive medical aid kit. Any required prescriptions (please note: our medics don’t dispense painkillers, headache tabs or antibiotics)<br />
<br />
- Lighting: a headlamp, torch, bike light, fairy lights, EL wire (and spare batteries). Solar lights rock – find ‘em & use ‘em.<br />
<br />
- Duct tape & cable ties – because they hold the universe together!<br />
<br />
- Bringing wood? Bring a brazier or braai - '''campfires on the ground are NOT permitted.'''<br />
<br />
- Recycling bins: you’ll need one for wet waste, and others for paper, plastic and metal / glass. Check out local area recycling depots, and use them on your way home – there’s nowhere for you to leave your trash on site.<br />
<br />
== '''DO NOT BRING''' ==<br />
Sure, it’s a burn you’re going to, but there are some items that are seriously not wanted at the event, and all for the same reason: they’re dangerous, either as mobile arson, or to critters. Not lekker.<br />
<br />
- Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind. <br />
<br />
- Glitter (even bio-degradeable, because others can’t tell whether it’s degradeable, and will assume all glitter’s ok, which results in horrifically difficult clean-ups for Leave No Trace Volunteers)<br />
<br />
- Flares, Fireworks, Fire lanterns, explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns. <br />
<br />
- Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
<br />
- Plants and pets of any kind. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
<br />
- [https://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/4zee5i/whats_the_origin_of_the_term_sparkle_pony/ Sparkle Ponies] <br />
== '''RECOMMENDED THINGS''' ==<br />
<br />
- Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
<br />
- Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for nighttime cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
<br />
- A portable shower.<br />
<br />
- Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
<br />
- Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect).<br />
<br />
- An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />

- Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Coronavirus level 1.jpg|thumb]]<br />
With the announcement that venues in South Africa can host up to 50% of their capacity with no upper limit, provided proof of vaccinations or negative COVID tests are checked on arrival, AfrikaBurn is now planning to follow this protocol. We have always said that we will be guided by the regulations. Now that Cyril has come to the party (but will he really?), with workable regulations, we will play by these rules. It is our Civic Responsibility to acknowledge that the pandemic hasn't yet disappeared. <br />
<br />
== TO ENTER AFRIKABURN YOU WILL NEED: ==<br />
'''Vaccine Certificate: A valid vaccine certificate showing you are fully vaccinated either in electronic form or your paper certificate received when you were vaccinated.''' <br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
'''A Negative COVID-19 test: A valid certificate of a negative COVID-19 test, recognised by the World Health Organisation, which was obtained not more than 72 hours before the date of arrival at the AfrikaBurn gate. Please note all negative COVID-19 tests require a valid certificate. Home tests purchased from a pharmacy (usually lateral flow tests) will not be accepted at the gate because they do not come with a certificate.''' <br />
<br />
'''You have to please cover the cost of the test if you need one.''' [[File:WhatsApp Image 2022-03-22 at 8.24.05 PM.jpg|thumb]]Kids: Unvaccinated kids older than 5 years old will also need to present either a negative COVID-19 test or a vaccination certificate as above. Again, this is as per current South African government regulations. <br />
<br />
'''Most importantly, if you are feeling sick in the lead up to your departure to AfrikaBurn please stay at home until you are better and can produce a negative COVID test.'''<br />
<br />
== WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 WHILST AT AFRIKABURN: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
We recommend having enough lateral flow COVID-19 test kits in your camp medical kit to effectively diagnose and manage any transmission of the virus at the event. Being aware of the COVID-19 symptoms and being proactive in this regard is the right thing to do ... for you and your campmates. <br />
<br />
If you test positive for COVID-19 at AfrikaBurn, you and anyone you are sharing a tent with (not your full communal tent, just your sleeping quarters) will need to immediately quarantine (Consider having a separate tent available in your camp for quarantining individuals) and arrange to leave the event site. AfrikaBurn is unable to provide transport for this. <br />
<br />
Gastro has also been doing the rounds in Cape Town recently. Please practice the same caution when departing for the AfrikaBurn event site. If you have any of the gastro symptoms (upset stomach and vomiting and/or nausea) please stay at home. Gastro is more destructive onsite at AfrikaBurn than COVID is. Please be cautious. <br />
<br />
== TOP TIPS: ==<br />
At least 5 days before departing for AfrikaBurn, focus on packing your fancy dress and cut back on socialising and contact with others. COVID-19 transmission is well documented and any risky behaviour in the days before AfrikaBurn can affect your whole experience and the experience of others. That massive party the day before you leave for AfrikaBurn could be the reason that you have to leave the event early not feeling so great, not to mention how your getting sick could affect the entire event. <br />
<br />
Try to keep your immune system firing on all cylinders when you’re in Tankwa Town, AfrikaBurn is a marathon, not a sprint. If you look after yourself properly then you’re going to be much more likely to see the Temple burn on Sunday. Take vitamins, eat healthy, focus on what your body is telling you instead of doing your best to break it the moment you hit the dust road. <br />
<br />
There is so much space in Tankwa Town, it’s going to be easy to maintain social distance without feeling like a party pooper. Keep some hand sanitiser in your fanny pack, wash your hands frequently throughout the day, and what ever you do, don’t share drinks from the same vessel. It’ll go a long way to minimising your exposure to COVID-19. Your efforts and support in minimising transmission make all the difference and help keep the Burn community as safe as possible. <br />
<br />
== CAMP HYGIENE - never has it been more important: ==<br />
If you are a theme camp, keep the private and public sections of your camp separate. Make sure you have hand sanitizer dotted around your camp for frequent and easy use, especially in your communal kitchen. Encourage people preparing food to wash their hands frequently and to wear a face mask. Sterilize countertops before food prep commences. <br />
<br />
Your washing up facility should be made up of 4 stations. <br />
<br />
* One: Bin with lid - to get rid of excess food on your plate. <br />
* Two: Pre wash rinsing station. <br />
* Three: Wash <br />
* Four: Post wash rinsing station. <br />
<br />
If possible it’s encouraged to fill each station with boiling water before washing the dishes and to replace it with fresh water if the water gets too dirty (black water). Always replace the water before each clean. Don’t let dirty water sit and discard of your grey/black water appropriately. Always make sure your utensils are cleaned properly before use. Don’t share utensils. Don’t share anything, unless it’s a good story.</div>Victoriahttps://quaggapedia.afrikaburn.com/index.php?title=FIRST_TIME%3F&diff=390FIRST TIME?2022-04-14T09:14:53Z<p>Victoria: </p>

'''Your AfrikaBurn experience will be made all the easier and enjoyable if you seriously consider where you’re going, what you’re doing and what you’ll need to do it. AfrikaBurn is not an event where the usual festival survival kit (tent, booze, snacks) will be sufficient – it’s an exercise in creativity and survival in an extreme environment. So plan ahead, plan smart, and plan to bring everything you need. If you do it right, you’ll be in for the ride of your life.'''<br />
<br />
== Essentials ==<br />
<br />
* Minimum 5 litres of water per person per day – carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly.<br />
* Food and beverages for your entire party and your entire stay – there is nothing on sale but ice.<br />
* A basic first aid kit.<br />
* Shelter: a tent with bedding and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
* Camping lights, torches, headlamps and LED’s. Pack spare batteries.<br />
* Rubbish bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
* Hand sanitiser – because chances are you will be exposed to germs & bacteria through communal use of utensils and facilities.<br />
* Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear – it might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours)<br />
<br />
== Leave at home ==<br />
<br />
* Plants. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
* Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind.<br />
* Glitter. Save it for the disco Divas. It’s a bitch to clean up after.<br />
* Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
* Explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns<br />
* Pets of any description (see ‘Plants’ above).<br />
* Don’t overstock on fresh produce – just bring enough to eat. Why? It rots, and it’ll stink up your car as you head back to reality.<br />
<br />
== Highly recommended ==<br />
<br />
* Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
* Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for night-time cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
* Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
* A portable shower.<br />
* Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect).<br />
* An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />
* Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />
<br />
== Toilets ==<br />
<br />
* If it wasn’t made by your body, don’t put it in the loo. Putting anything but human waste and one-ply toilet paper into our Throne toilets jeopardises the process used to convert bodily waste into manure.<br />
* There are tampon bins in toilets marked with a red triangle.<br />
* ALWAYS close the lid when you’re done – this prevents flies from entering the toilet tank and also keeps odours down.<br />
* Do not dump grey water or bags from your personal camping toilet in the toilets: use an evaporation pond for your grey water (or transport it off site for proper disposal).<br />
* Here it is again: NO TAMPONS, RUBBISH OR WET-WIPES in the toilets. Got it?<br />
<br />
== Camping ==<br />
<br />
* No camping is allowed beyond the inner edge (Binnekring) or beyond the bush line. Registered project-based camps will be provided with a reserved placement location – all other camps settle in Open Camping, which is settled on a first-come-first-camped basis.<br />
* On arrival, after you’ve set up your camp, take the time to familiarise yourself with the layout of the city, and then head over to Off-Centre Camp, where you will find a range of community services such as our Ranger HQ, Medics, Volunteer Booth, Kid’s Registration booth and so on. All of these will be good to know if & when you require the services offered.<br />
* FUEL: no large amounts of liquid or gas fuel are permitted to be stored in campsites. Once settled, head over to the Fire Safety<br />
* Plug & Play camps which feature paid staff, are set up for ‘clients’ and are run to make a profit are not permitted.<br />
* If you have a camp planned that makes use of services and camp infrastructure delivered to our event site, please be sure to check out our Supplier Process to ensure you understand how this process works.<br />
* CAMPSITE MANAGERS: if you have a need to contact someone regarding problems in your camp area (including participants needing help or possible dangers), locate the Campsite Manager for your area and they will assist you. If you’re unable to find them, you can also call on a Ranger.<br />

== Cars ==<br />
<br />
* AfrikaBurn is for pedestrians and bicycles only. Unless it’s an art car or emergency vehicle, it’s parked from arrival until departure.<br />
* '''THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10KMH'''<br />
<br />
== Commerce ==<br />
<br />
* There’s nothing to buy – and no-one’s selling anything – except one item: ice. For anything else, your money’s no good in Tankwa Town. This is because AfrikaBurn is decommodified zone with a gift economy, where gifts are given without an expectation of anything in return. <br />
* If you have plans to promote or market any kind of branded product (or take photos or videos of a product or service) at the event, rather don’t. Leave all of that behind for once, as the event is a refreshingly non-commercial space.<br />
<br />
== Fire ==<br />
<br />
* Bring a fire extinguisher, and a 5-litre bucket of sand, and inform your campmates of where these are so they’re able to use them in the event of a fire breaking out. <br />
* You can use a campfire to cook on, but it is absolutely your responsibility to monitor; you should NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIRE UNATTENDED.If you do, neighbours or Rangers will put it out to ensure no sparks or embers can cause fires when wind comes up (which is often).<br />
* Open fires on the ground are not permitted. If you have a fire (in a brazier, or braai) and leave your camp, put it out.<br />
<br />
== Leave No Trace ==<br />
<br />
* This one’s not negotiable – '''AfrikaBurn is a Leave No Trace event.'''<br />
* '''EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO AFRIKABURN, YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU.'''<br />
* The land AfrikaBurn takes place on is pristine Karoo semi-desert. As a citizen of Tankwa Town, you have a civic duty to make sure it stays that way. The only way for that to happen is for you to leave no trace. You’re encouraged to clean up as you go, so if you see someone dropping something, let them know. Loudly.<br />

'''Your AfrikaBurn experience will be made all the easier and enjoyable if you seriously consider where you’re going, what you’re doing and what you’ll need to do it. AfrikaBurn is not an event where the usual festival survival kit (tent, booze, snacks) will be sufficient – it’s an exercise in creativity and survival in an extreme environment. So plan ahead, plan smart, and plan to bring everything you need. If you do it right, you’ll be in for the ride of your life.'''<br />
<br />
== Essentials ==<br />
<br />
* Minimum 5 litres of water per person per day – carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly.<br />
* Food and beverages for your entire party and your entire stay – there is nothing on sale but ice.<br />
* A basic first aid kit.<br />
* Shelter: a tent with bedding and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
* Camping lights, torches, headlamps and LED’s. Pack spare batteries.<br />
* Rubbish bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
* Hand sanitiser – because chances are you will be exposed to germs & bacteria through communal use of utensils and facilities.<br />
* Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear – it might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours)<br />
<br />
== Leave at home ==<br />
<br />
* Plants. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
* Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind.<br />
* Glitter. Save it for the disco Divas. It’s a bitch to clean up after.<br />
* Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
* Explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns<br />
* Pets of any description (see ‘Plants’ above).<br />
* Don’t overstock on fresh produce – just bring enough to eat. Why? It rots, and it’ll stink up your car as you head back to reality.<br />
<br />
== Highly recommended ==<br />
<br />
* Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
* Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for night-time cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
* Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
* A portable shower.<br />
* Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect).<br />
* An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />
* Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />
<br />
== Toilets ==<br />
<br />
* If it wasn’t made by your body, don’t put it in the loo. Putting anything but human waste and one-ply toilet paper into our Throne toilets jeopardises the process used to convert bodily waste into manure.<br />
* There are tampon bins in toilets marked with a red triangle.<br />
* ALWAYS close the lid when you’re done – this prevents flies from entering the toilet tank and also keeps odours down.<br />
* Do not dump grey water or bags from your personal camping toilet in the toilets: use an evaporation pond for your grey water (or transport it off site for proper disposal).<br />
* Here it is again: NO TAMPONS, RUBBISH OR WET-WIPES in the toilets. Got it?<br />

* No camping is allowed beyond the inner edge (Binnekring) or beyond the bush line. Registered project-based camps will be provided with a reserved placement location – all other camps settle in Open Camping, which is settled on a first-come-first-camped basis.<br />
* On arrival, after you’ve set up your camp, take the time to familiarise yourself with the layout of the city, and then head over to Off-Centre Camp, where you will find a range of community services such as our Ranger HQ, Medics, Volunteer Booth, Kid’s Registration booth and so on. All of these will be good to know if & when you require the services offered.<br />
* FUEL: no large amounts of liquid or gas fuel are permitted to be stored in campsites. Once settled, head over to the Fire Safety<br />
* Plug & Play camps which feature paid staff, are set up for ‘clients’ and are run to make a profit are not permitted.<br />
* If you have a camp planned that makes use of services and camp infrastructure delivered to our event site, please be sure to check out our Supplier Process to ensure you understand how this process works.<br />
* CAMPSITE MANAGERS: if you have a need to contact someone regarding problems in your camp area (including participants needing help or possible dangers), locate the Campsite Manager for your area and they will assist you. If you’re unable to find them, you can also call on a Ranger.<br />
<br />
== Cars ==<br />
<br />
* AfrikaBurn is for pedestrians and bicycles only. Unless it’s an art car or emergency vehicle, it’s parked from arrival until departure.<br />
* '''THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10KMH'''<br />
<br />
== Commerce ==<br />
<br />
* There’s nothing to buy – and no-one’s selling anything – except one item: ice. For anything else, your money’s no good in Tankwa Town. This is because AfrikaBurn is decommodified zone with a gift economy, where gifts are given without an expectation of anything in return. <br />
* If you have plans to promote or market any kind of branded product (or take photos or videos of a product or service) at the event, rather don’t. Leave all of that behind for once, as the event is a refreshingly non-commercial space.<br />
<br />
== Fire ==<br />
<br />
* Bring a fire extinguisher, and a 5-litre bucket of sand, and inform your campmates of where these are so they’re able to use them in the event of a fire breaking out. <br />
* You can use a campfire to cook on, but it is absolutely your responsibility to monitor; you should NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIRE UNATTENDED.If you do, neighbours or Rangers will put it out to ensure no sparks or embers can cause fires when wind comes up (which is often).<br />
* Open fires on the ground are not permitted. If you have a fire (in a brazier, or braai) and leave your camp, put it out.<br />
<br />
== Leave No Trace ==<br />
<br />
* This one’s not negotiable – '''AfrikaBurn is a Leave No Trace event.'''<br />
* '''EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO AFRIKABURN, YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU.'''<br />
* The land AfrikaBurn takes place on is pristine Karoo semi-desert. As a citizen of Tankwa Town, you have a civic duty to make sure it stays that way. The only way for that to happen is for you to leave no trace. You’re encouraged to clean up as you go, so if you see someone dropping something, let them know. Loudly.<br />

'''Your AfrikaBurn experience will be made all the easier and enjoyable if you seriously consider where you’re going, what you’re doing and what you’ll need to do it. AfrikaBurn is not an event where the usual festival survival kit (tent, booze, snacks) will be sufficient – it’s an exercise in creativity and survival in an extreme environment. So plan ahead, plan smart, and plan to bring everything you need. If you do it right, you’ll be in for the ride of your life.'''<br />
<br />
== You need this: ==<br />
<br />
* Minimum 5 litres of water per person per day – carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly.<br />
* Food and beverages for your entire party and your entire stay – there is nothing on sale but ice.<br />
* A basic first aid kit.<br />
* Shelter: a tent with bedding and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
* Camping lights, torches, headlamps and LED’s. Pack spare batteries.<br />
* Rubbish bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
* Hand sanitiser – because chances are you will be exposed to germs & bacteria through communal use of utensils and facilities.<br />
* Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear – it might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours)<br />
<br />
== Do not bring this: ==<br />
<br />
* Plants. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
* Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind.<br />
* Glitter. Save it for the disco Divas. It’s a bitch to clean up after.<br />
* Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
* Explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns<br />
* Pets of any description (see ‘Plants’ above).<br />
* Don’t overstock on fresh produce – just bring enough to eat. Why? It rots, and it’ll stink up your car as you head back to reality.<br />
<br />
== Highly recommended ==<br />
<br />
* Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
* Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for night-time cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
<br />
== A portable shower ==<br />
<br />
* Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
* Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect)<br />
* An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />
* Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />
<br />
== Toilets ==<br />
<br />
* If it wasn’t made by your body, don’t put it in the loo. Putting anything but human waste and one-ply toilet paper into our Throne toilets jeopardises the process used to convert bodily waste into manure.<br />
* There are tampon bins in toilets marked with a red triangle.<br />
* ALWAYS close the lid when you’re done – this prevents flies from entering the toilet tank and also keeps odours down.<br />
* Do not dump grey water or bags from your personal camping toilet in the toilets: use an evaporation pond for your grey water (or transport it off site for proper disposal).<br />
* Here it is again: NO TAMPONS, RUBBISH OR WET-WIPES in the toilets. Got it?<br />

* Plug & Play camps which feature paid staff, are set up for ‘clients’ and are run to make a profit are not permitted.<br />
* If you have a camp planned that makes use of services and camp infrastructure delivered to our event site, please be sure to check out our Supplier Process to ensure you understand how this process works.<br />
* CAMPSITE MANAGERS: if you have a need to contact someone regarding problems in your camp area (including participants needing help or possible dangers), locate the Campsite Manager for your area and they will assist you. If you’re unable to find them, you can also call on a Ranger.<br />
<br />
== Cars ==<br />
<br />
* AfrikaBurn is for pedestrians and bicycles only. Unless it’s an art car or emergency vehicle, it’s parked from arrival until departure.<br />
* '''THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10KMH'''<br />
<br />
== Commerce ==<br />
<br />
* There’s nothing to buy – and no-one’s selling anything – except one item: ice. For anything else, your money’s no good in Tankwa Town. This is because AfrikaBurn is decommodified zone with a gift economy, where gifts are given without an expectation of anything in return. <br />
* If you have plans to promote or market any kind of branded product (or take photos or videos of a product or service) at the event, rather don’t. Leave all of that behind for once, as the event is a refreshingly non-commercial space.<br />
<br />
== Fire ==<br />
<br />
* Bring a fire extinguisher, and a 5-litre bucket of sand, and inform your campmates of where these are so they’re able to use them in the event of a fire breaking out. <br />
* You can use a campfire to cook on, but it is absolutely your responsibility to monitor; you should NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIRE UNATTENDED.If you do, neighbours or Rangers will put it out to ensure no sparks or embers can cause fires when wind comes up (which is often).<br />
* Open fires on the ground are not permitted. If you have a fire (in a brazier, or braai) and leave your camp, put it out.<br />
<br />
== Leave No Trace ==<br />
<br />
* This one’s not negotiable – '''AfrikaBurn is a Leave No Trace event.'''<br />
* '''EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO AFRIKABURN, YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU.'''<br />
* The land AfrikaBurn takes place on is pristine Karoo semi-desert. As a citizen of Tankwa Town, you have a civic duty to make sure it stays that way. The only way for that to happen is for you to leave no trace. You’re encouraged to clean up as you go, so if you see someone dropping something, let them know. Loudly.<br />

<div>'''<big>Everything is going to be different in 2022.</big>''' <br />
<br />
After [https://www.afrikaburn.com/latest-news/afrikaburn-2020-cancellation-statement cancelling AfrikaBurn in both 2020 and 2021], it's assumed that the event in 2022 will continue to be [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00396-2 impacted] by the global coronavirus pandemic. Because of this (and South African government coronavirus legislation), the 2022 event is going to be much smaller than usual with a planned 5000 participants which is about 50% of usual capacity. <br />
<br />
AfrikaBurn 2022 will also be the first time we have the event on [https://land.afrikaburn.com/ Quaggafontein]. This will likely make some things at the event easier and some things much harder. It's pretty much a reset for everything we knew about the event when it was held at Stonehenge in previous years. The terrain on Quaggafontein is much the same same but different, there may be sections of deep sand (It's a desert!), hard rock and goodness knows what else to deal with. <br />
<br />
[[File:Square LOGO BG.png|thumb|An ongoing work in progress ... AfrikaBurn.]]<br />
<br />
== It's important that you come to AfrikaBurn 2022 with an open mind and an open heart. ==<br />
2022 is the blank canvas that we've always dreamed of, and we think the changes coming in 2022 may actually be harder to deal with if you're an experienced participant of AfrikaBurn ... You may have had a favourite spot where you usually camp, the route you like to take exploring etc. and now all of that familiarity has gone. <br />
<br />
Remember that AfrikaBurn was always better last year (or the year before you participated) and it's our collective responsibility to make sure that the evolution and experimentation continues in 2022 and beyond. With a whole new Tankwa town being built from scratch in 2022 it's going to be equal amounts of exciting and challenging for old and new burners alike. <br />
<br />

== Covid-19 at AfrikaBurn 2022. ==<br />
There is a section on the ‘expected' Covid policy on the ticketing website: [https://tickets.afrikaburn.com/ Covid Update and Refund Policy]<br />
<br />
It’s hard to pin down what the exact Covid requirements are going to be in April 2022, because we will be following our South African Governments Covid policy and not necessarily creating our own. As an organisation, AfrikaBurn is confident that participants will likely need a negative Covid test and/or proof of vaccination - as that’s what most events in South Africa require right now. However, these things do change and we expect them to change between the time you're reading this and the event itself. AfrikaBurn will be updating participants as we get closer to the event itself. Please make sure you're signed up to all the [https://www.afrikaburn.com/news/newsletter-archive newsletters] and follow AfrikaBurn on social media.<br />

<br />
== '''Event program changes in 2022 (still to be confirmed!)''' ==<br />
The Clan effigy and Temple burns are moving back to their old Saturday (Clan) and Sunday (Temple) schedule.* <br />
<br />
Why? Because having our Clan burn on Saturday, and Temple on Sunday means that the climax of having two of the most significant structures burnt on Saturday & Sunday is in synch with the last two days of our event schedule.<br />
<br />
(*as always, our team will be watching the weather forecast very closely, and if there’s a chance that high wind or rain looks set to mess with the schedule, then timing may change. All things in Tankwa Town – including large burns – are subject to Mother Nature’s calls).</div>Victoriahttps://quaggapedia.afrikaburn.com/index.php?title=BEFORE_YOU_GO,_PREPARE&diff=365BEFORE YOU GO, PREPARE2022-04-11T14:38:05Z<p>Victoria: /* ESSENTIALS */</p>

=== AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE DESERT, REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. ===<br />
Use lots of common sense: you need to bring everything you need to the desert, including all food, water, shelter, fuel, and basic first aid. And then you need to take it all back – because this is a '''Leave No Trace''' event.<br />
<br />
Before you arrive, make sure you have your '''TICKET''' - printed or on a phone / device (with battery). Make 100% sure your name is on your ticket, and that you bring photo ID to the gate with you. Our gate crew will need this to verify your ticket and can’t let you in if the details on your ID and ticket don’t match.<br />
<br />
== '''ESSENTIALS''' ==<br />
'''THIS AIN’T NO PARTY. THIS AIN’T NO DISCO. THIS IS ONE SERIOUS DESERT FANDANGO AND YOU MUST BRING:'''<br />
<br />
- Your ticket & photo ID for entry (SA ID, driver’s licence or passport) – ensure the name on your ticket is the same name on your ID/Passport.<br />
<br />
- Vehicle Pass (one per vehicle). Caravans and trailers don’t need a VP but motorcycles do.<br />
<br />
- 5 litres of water per person per day - carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly. <br />
<br />
- Enough food and beverages for the duration of your entire stay.<br />
<br />
- Shelter, bedding, and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
<br />
- Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear). It might be the desert and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if and when it rains, it pours.<br />
<br />
- Trash bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
<br />
- Fire extinguisher.<br />
<br />
- Comprehensive medical aid kit. Any required prescriptions (please note: our medics don’t dispense painkillers, headache tabs or antibiotics)<br />
<br />
- Lighting: a headlamp, torch, bike light, fairy lights, EL wire (and spare batteries). Solar lights rock – find ‘em & use ‘em.<br />
<br />
- Duct tape & cable ties – because they hold the universe together!<br />
<br />
- Bringing wood? Bring a brazier or braai - '''campfires on the ground are NOT permitted.'''<br />
<br />
- Recycling bins: you’ll need one for wet waste, and others for paper, plastic and metal / glass. Check out local area recycling depots, and use them on your way home – there’s nowhere for you to leave your trash on site.<br />
<br />
== '''DO NOT BRING''' ==<br />
Sure, it’s a burn you’re going to, but there are some items that are seriously not wanted at the event, and all for the same reason: they’re dangerous, either as mobile arson, or to critters. Not lekker.<br />
<br />
- Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind. <br />
<br />
- Glitter (even bio-degradeable, because others can’t tell whether it’s degradeable, and will assume all glitter’s ok, which results in horrifically difficult clean-ups for Leave No Trace Volunteers)<br />
<br />
- Flares, Fireworks, Fire lanterns, explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns. <br />
<br />
- Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
<br />
- Plants and pets of any kind. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />
<br />
- [https://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/4zee5i/whats_the_origin_of_the_term_sparkle_pony/ Sparkle Ponies] <br />
== '''RECOMMENDED THINGS''' ==<br />
<br />
- Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
<br />
- Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for nighttime cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
<br />
- A portable shower.<br />
<br />
- Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />

- Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect).<br />

- An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />

<br />
- Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear). It might be the desert, and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if & when it rains, it pours.<br />
<br />
- Trash bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />
<br />
- Fire extinguisher.<br />
<br />
- Comprehensive medical aid kit. Any required prescriptions (please note: our medics don’t dispense painkillers, headache tabs or antibiotics)<br />
<br />
- Lighting: a headlamp, torch, bike light, fairy lights, EL wire (and spare batteries). Solar lights rock – find ‘em & use ‘em.<br />
<br />
- Duct tape & cable ties – because they hold the universe together!<br />
<br />
- Bringing wood? Bring a brazier or braai - '''campfires on the ground are NOT permitted.'''<br />
<br />
- Recycling bins: you’ll need one for wet waste, and others for paper, plastic and metal / glass. Check out local area recycling depots, and use them on your way home – there’s nowhere for you to leave your trash on site.<br />
<br />
== '''DO NOT BRING''' ==<br />
Sure, it’s a burn you’re going to, but there are some items that are seriously not wanted at the event, and all for the same reason: they’re dangerous, either as mobile arson, or to critters. Not lekker.<br />
<br />
- Feathers of any kind, such as boas, which shed and get blown in the wind. <br />
<br />
- Glitter (even bio-degradeable, because others can’t tell whether it’s degradeable, and will assume all glitter’s ok, which results in horrifically difficult clean-ups for Leave No Trace Volunteers)<br />
<br />
- Flares, Fireworks, Fire lanterns, explosives or firearms of any kind, including BB guns or pellet guns. <br />
<br />
- Excess packaging. Lighten your load – just bring the contents.<br />
<br />
- Plants and pets of any kind. If it doesn’t belong there, leave it where it does.<br />

== '''RECOMMENDED THINGS''' ==<br />
<br />
- Umbrellas, parasols, hats, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses.<br />
- Bring a bicycle (mountain bikes are best) and decorate it, make it an installation, light it up for nighttime cruising. Bring a puncture kit.<br />
- A portable shower.<br />
- Smokers should bring a portable ashtray. No butts on the floor. At all. Not even one, boet. The Tankwa is pristine and we are all tasked with keeping it that way.<br />
- Anything that can make sharp tent staves safer (tennis balls: perfect)<br />
- An extra set of car keys, just in case.<br />
- Costumes, musical instruments, signs, body paint and anything else that might enrich and make your AfrikaBurn more fun for you and your neighbours.<br />

=== AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE DESERT, REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. ===<br />
Use lots of common sense: you need to bring everything you need to the desert, including all food, water, shelter, fuel, and basic first aid. And then you need to take it all back – because this is a '''Leave No Trace''' event.<br />
<br />
Before you arrive, make sure you have your '''TICKET'''- printed or on a phone / device (with battery). Make 100% sure your name is on your ticket, and that you bring photo ID to the gate with you. Our gate crew will need this to verify your ticket and can’t let you in if the details on your ID and ticket don’t match.<br />
<br />
== '''ESSENTIALS''' ==<br />
THIS AIN’T NO PARTY. THIS AIN’T NO DISCO. THIS IS ONE SERIOUS DESERT FANDANGO AND YOU MUST BRING:<br />
<br />
- Your ticket & photo ID for entry (SA ID, driver’s licence or passport) – ensure the name on your ticket is the same name on your ID/Passport.<br />
<br />
- Vehicle Pass (one per vehicle). Caravans and trailers don’t need a VP but motorcycles do.<br />
<br />
- 5 litres of water per person per day - carry a bottle of water with you and rehydrate regularly. <br />
<br />
- Enough food and beverages for the duration of your entire stay.<br />
<br />
- Shelter, bedding, and preferably an open shade structure too. If it’s not windproof, kiss it goodbye.<br />
<br />
- Protective clothing (including warm clothes and waterproof gear). It might be the desert, and it is very warm in the day, but nights can be freezing and if & when it rains, it pours.<br />
<br />
- Trash bags – because you’re going to be taking it all back with you.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Communal Effort.jpg|thumb|Communal Effort. Illustration by Gabi Bruhnso|378x378px]]<br />
AfrikaBurn is an official Burning Man regional event, held in the Tankwa Karoo, in the Western Cape Province of South Africa since 2007. It is centred on the construction of temporary artworks in a semi-desert environment, some of which are burnt towards the end of the event. The Guiding Principles of the event stem directly from [https://burningman.org/about/10-principles/ Burning Man.]<br />
<br />
== '''COMMUNAL EFFORT''' ==<br />
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.<br />
<br />
== '''CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY''' ==<br />
We value civil society. Community members who organise events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavour to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with national and local laws.<br />
<br />
== '''DECOMMODIFICATION''' ==<br />
In order to preserve the spirit of '''gifting''', our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.<br />
[[File:AB 2007 first Tribe being built.jpg|thumb|299x299px|AB 2007 - Building the first Tribe. Image by Jeanine Jooste.]]<br />
<br />
== '''PARTICIPATION''' ==<br />
'''The real magic of this event lies within participation.''' A spectator attitude will deprive you of that warm fuzzy feeling you've heard about. Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. <br />
<br />
== '''IMMEDIACY''' ==<br />
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.<br />
<br />
== '''GIFTING''' ==<br />
We are devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.<br />
[[File:Moop Lighter in ground.jpg|alt=Lighter|left|thumb|MOOP (matter out of place): Cigarette butts. Glowstick connectors. Matches. Bottle caps. String. Bedazzlers. Bindis. Glitter. Toilet paper. Napkins. Shells. Nuts. Straw. Cable-ties. Wood. Splinters. Nails. Screws. Polystyrene (from split bean bags). Peach pips. Bamboo. Orange peels. Naartjie peels. Lemon rind. Beads. Plastic flowers. Batteries. Broken LED’s. Finger lights. Feather boa scraps. Food scraps. Rice grains. Muesli. Pasta. Broken glass. Duct tape. Electrical insulation tape. Straw. Mirror ball fragments. Cigarette packets. Tampons. Condoms. Sequins. False eyelashes. Lighters. To name but a few.]]<br />
<br />
== '''LEAVING NO TRACE''' ==<br />
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavour, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. <br />
[[File:Radical expression gold man.jpg|thumb|Radical Self Expression. Image by Berry Wessels.]]<br />
<br />
== '''RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE''' ==<br />
AfrikaBurn encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.<br />
<br />
== '''RADICAL SELF- EXPRESSION''' ==<br />
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.<br />
<br />
== '''RADICAL INCLUSION''' ==<br />
Everyone should be able to be a part of AfrikaBurn. As an intentional community, committed to inventing the world anew, we actively pursue mechanisms to address imbalances and overcome barriers to participation, especially in consideration of past, current and systemic injustice. We welcome and respect the stranger. Anyone can belong.<br />
<br />
== '''EACH ONE TEACH ONE''' ==<br />
As a self-reliant community, we believe the responsibility of spreading our culture lies with each and every one of us. All of us are custodians of our culture – when the opportunity presents itself, we pass knowledge on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*********************************************</nowiki><blockquote><br />
These principles aren’t commandments, and they’re not rules – they are ideals that offer guidelines to how we as a community can reinvent the world, and ourselves. They are designed to enhance your experience in Quaggafontein as well as live in harmony with your fellow burners. In summary, don’t be kak, just be lekker.</blockquote><nowiki><br />

DOCTOR SAYS...<br />
<br />
Be responsible for yourself and your medical conditions. Please think about what you need to bring and read the info here to understand what AfrikaBurn’s medics provide and under what circumstances you can access these resources.<br />
<br />
== There will be medics onsite, but they’re there for emergency situations only, and may turn patients away if the situation is not an emergency… ==<br />
<br />
Remember to bring adequate supplies of any prescription medications. The medics are not a pharmacy and won’t be able to source your meds.<br />
<br />
=== In case of severe emergency the medics can evacuate patients by road or air, but '''costs associated with evacuation will not be covered by AfrikaBurn'''. ===<br />
Note: If you do not have medical aid, you will be asked to cover the costs of your medical evacuation yourself.<br />
<br />
If our medical team informs you that you should leave site for physical or psychological reasons, please listen to them and leave site so you can get the assistance they suggest.<br />
<br />
=== Bring a first aid kit. ===<br />
Make sure it is stocked up with more plasters and bandages as well as eye drops (for the dust) and citrus soda (UTI’s), and good old disinfectant. More details below.<br />
<br />
Experience has taught us that you can't go wrong with other basics such as anti-nausea tabs, anti-diarrhoea tabs, smecta, painkillers, antihistamine, aftersun and that yucky purple rehydrate stuff. Don't forget that epi-pen if you're allergic enough to warrant one.<br />
<br />
=== MEDIC! OMG, WHERE ARE THE MEDICS? ===<br />
They’re at Off-Centre Camp, located on the Binnekring - LOOK FOR THE BIG RED CROSS AND MEDIC SIGN.<br />
<br />
=== IN THE EVENT OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY ===<br />
<br />
* Stay with the person needing assistance.<br />
* Request someone else (anyone else) to go call the medics. Make sure you give instructions to that person of your exact location. Eg: “Tell them that we are about 10m behind Burning Mail Camp on 9-ish!”<br />
* Do not move the person.<br />
* Make sure they are comfortable (put a jersey under their head, etc.) and wait for Medics to arrive.<br />
* Manage their temperature: create shade if it’s hot, and keep them warm if it’s cold.<br />
<br />
=== Don’t panic. <big>Do. Not. Panic!</big> ===<br />
<br />
==== The following are indicative of what can be treated on site: ====<br />
<br />
* Diarrhoea<br />
* Antiemetic medicine for nausea and vomiting<br />
* Headaches<br />
* Hypoglycemia<br />
* Dehydration<br />
* Hyperthermia<br />
* Hypothermia<br />
* Anaphylactic reactions<br />
* Stings and bites<br />
* Minor asthmatic emergencies<br />
* Minor soft tissue injuries<br />
* Sunburn and other minor burn wounds<br />
* Stabilisation of any fracture<br />
<br />
==== The following (and similar) injuries will be stabilised and referred to the nearest hospital, with the patient to provide their own transport. We recommend having a designated driver in your camp/ group of friends in case of emergency: ====<br />
<br />
* Minor bone fractures<br />
* Stabilised soft tissue injuries<br />
* Broken teeth<br />
* All non-life threatening and stabilised minor events<br />
* Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) - remember to piss regularly, and clear.<br />
<br />
==== Major injuries such as those listed below will be transported by ambulance or by air (as appropriate) to the nearest major medical facilities at the discretion of the lead medical officer ====<br />
<br />
* Resuscitated patients<br />
* Major bone fractures including longbone, cervical and skeletal<br />
* Asthmatic major<br />
* Severe concussion<br />
* Major laceration, burns and soft tissue injuries<br />
* All unstable life-threatening emergencies may need evacuation by air<br />
<br />
== THE DESERT IS A DANGEROUS PLACE – SO PACK A FIRST-AID KIT ==<br />
Your kit should contain the following items:<br />
<br />
* plasters in a variety of different sizes and shapes<br />
* small, medium and large sterile gauze dressings<br />
* crêpe rolled bandages<br />
* safety pins<br />
* disposable sterile gloves<br />
* tweezers and scissors<br />

* cream or spray to relieve insect bites and stings<br />
* antiseptic cream<br />
* painkillers such as paracetamol (or infant paracetamol for children), aspirin (not to be given to children under 16), or ibuprofen<br />
* cough medicine<br />
* antihistamine cream or tablets or epi-pen if prescribed<br />
* distilled water for cleaning wounds<br />
* eye drops, eye wash / eye bath. You also get a kind of nose lube spray that's great for the dry desert.<br />
* anti-puke<br />
* anti-poo if it gets bad<br />
* rehydrate<br />
* aftersun</div>Victoriahttps://quaggapedia.afrikaburn.com/index.php?title=PARENTING&diff=294PARENTING2022-03-23T13:58:07Z<p>Victoria: </p>
<hr />
<div>IT’S A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE KIDS AT AFRIKABURN, BUT YOU HAVE TO PREPARE THEM AND BE PREPARED YOURSELF.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''PREPARE YOUR KIDS'''<br />
<br />
Let your kids know in advance about the kind of things that they will or might see and hear. Nudity, iconoclastic art, sexuality, rude language, cultural commentary, and weird behaviour are all a part of the AfrikaBurn experience. Steer them away from whatever you feel uncomfortable with, but be matter-of-fact about the stuff they are curious about.<br />
<br />
Consider your child’s normal frame of reference: have they camped before? Talk to them about common-sense safety - advise them to be cautious about getting too close to aggressive art, destructive robots and moving vehicles, and playing in ash heaps or burn scars. A little bit of care goes a long way in a chaotic environment. All parents should attend to their children and are responsible for their safety and well-being at all times.<br />
<br />
You and your kids should know who is responsible for them at all times. Rather over-communicate with your kids than leave them without important info. Parents not behaving responsibly, with regard to their children, may be asked to leave the event.<br />
<br />
RANGER SAYS: small children are a wonder at the burn but your average teen can be a horror and even more horrific in an anarchic enclave with music, booze, and countless temptations. AfrikaBurn is not the place to bring your distant teen in the hope it will bring you closer.<br />
<br />
'''Top tips'''<br />
<br />
1 ORIENTATE YOUR KIDS<br />
<br />
When you get to Tankwa Town - walk around with them and identify landmarks that will help them navigate and be safe.<br />
<br />
If possible, figure out your camp address prior to arrival – this enables our Gate crew to link your kid’s wristband to camp location. If you don’t know your camp address before arrival, please head to our Gate after you’ve settled in and provide the info.<br />
<br />
2 GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS<br />
<br />
The community is one of the great strengths of AfrikaBurn. Neighbours help to look out for kids, bikes and everything else at your camp, while you<br />
<br />
do the same for them.<br />
<br />
3 ORGANISE EARLY MORNING ACTIVITIES<br />
<br />
Children may be up well before you and wandering about.<br />
<br />
4 PROTECT THEM FROM THE ELEMENTS<br />
<br />
Get your children to wear sturdy footwear and hats, use sunscreen and carry water with them wherever they are.<br />
<br />
5 MARK YOUR KIDS BIKE<br />
<br />
Take some duct tape and a permanent marker and mark your kid’s bike with their name, your name and your camp address. Adding a long ‘flagpole’ with brightly coloured flag (and a light) will make it easy to spot your kid’s bike from a distance. Similarly, marking your bike will make it easier for your kids to find and follow you.<br />
<br />
6 DON’T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN AT THEME CAMPS<br />
<br />
You might be keen to have a wander and enjoy yourself but leaving children in the care of Theme Camps without their agreement is irresponsible and unfair to the Theme Camps and your children.<br />
<br />
7 OLDER KIDS<br />
<br />
Older kids are going to want to stretch their limits and cruise around on their own – make some guidelines that you both feel comfortable with, including how far to go and how often to check back in.<br />
<br />
Please note: Theme Camps should not gift alcohol to those under 18 and camps gifting alcohol will ask for identification if in doubt.<br />

<br />
Tankwa Town is one of the most photogenic places on the planet, but please remember you’re here to participate, so DON’T FORGET TO ENGAGE. <br />
<br />
'''Don’t look at the whole event through the lens; you’re part of the show - embrace immediacy, and keep in mind that it’s in all our interest to protect people’s right to express themselves, and their right to privacy.'''<br />
<br />
The best advice we can give you is to put your cameraphone down and engage with the world around you. If you spend the whole of AfrikaBurn behind a viewfinder you're not going get the most out of the experience.<br />
<br />
Having said the above, because AfrikaBurn is so incredibly amazing, we do occasionally have mainstream media at our event. This provides an opportunity to inform and affect the world by illustrating and documenting what we do as a community. Reporting and documenting is a form of expression we welcome, and those filming at the event have undertaken to not interfere with your experience. <br />
<br />
'''If anyone with a camera invades your privacy, please ask them for their name and check in at the Media Centre at Off-Centre Camp to let our Media team know.'''<br />
<br />
== '''NO PHOTO NO VIDEO WRISTBANDS''' ==<br />
These are pink, glow-in-the- dark, free and available at our Media Booth and also at our Ice Station. You'd wear one of these if you don't want an image of you at AfrikaBurn to be seen or shared. You may be the president of a country, a pop star or a high level barista and you choose to express yourself at AfrikaBurn through nudity or behaviour that is frowned upon in the default world. These wristbands are your way to let photographers know that you don't want your image splashed all over Coffee Drinkers Monthly.<br />

<br />
== '''MEDIA, CAMERA AND DOCUMENTARY INFO''' ==<br />
One of the abiding principles of AfrikaBurn is that participants do not interfere with the immediate experience of other participants. As a member of the media, you’re expected to be respectful and conduct yourself accordingly. If you do, your coverage will be far more genuine, authentic and meaningful.<br />
<br />
If any participant asks you to stop filming, you must stop immediately. If you continue to photograph or film, you may face the possibility of being escorted from the event.<br />
<br />
You must ask permission before photographing or filming any individual participant who might be recognisable. Crowd shots are exempt, except when the artist, performer, and majority of participants request no cameras or filming.<br />
<br />
Members of the media have the responsibility to check in on arrival at the Media Centre at Off-Centre Camp to register or pick up their accreditation.<br />
<br />
The Media Centre opens at 10am and closes at 2pm each day, Monday to Saturday of our event week.<br />
<br />
If you’re considering any commercial use of still photos, video or audio recorded at the event, you must provide a copy of your work to the event organisers for archive within 90 days of the event. If your work requires post-production, you must provide a copy as soon as it is completed.<br />
<br />
== '''EVENT ORGANISER’S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES''' ==<br />
AfrikaBurn has the responsibility to create an environment for participants that doesn’t tolerate rude or irresponsible use of photographic or video recording equipment. Anyone who doesn’t respect the rights and wishes of others, with respect to photographs, video, or recordings of any kind, may be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
AfrikaBurn reserves the right to disallow the use of related imagery and recordings of any kind for commercial or unapproved editorial use, particularly if such use(s) undermine personal expression and the privacy of participants, or the integrity of the event.<br />
<br />
== '''PHOTOGRAPHERS/ VIDEOGRAPHERS/ AUDIOGRAPHERS RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITES''' ==<br />
You’ve got the right to express yourself and create art as a photographer, videographer and/ or audio artist.<br />
<br />
You have the responsibility to be respectful to people you wish to record and seek permission from them before recording their likeness or voice.<br />
<br />
You also have the responsibility to ensure that your capturing of that image, footage or sound-bite does not impact the experience of others. Be considerate of those who are experiencing the moment - keep your head down and do your utmost to stay out of the sight-line.<br />
<br />
Images, footage or sound recorded for personal use are not restricted - but any published material can only be used by registered parties. <br />
<br />
To register for accreditation, [https://www.afrikaburn.com/the-event/press-media CLICK HERE] or go to the Media Centre on site. Anyone shooting stills or film irresponsibly may be requested to switch their equipment off or, if the matter is of a serious nature, asked to leave the event.<br />
<br />
== '''ARTISTS’ RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES''' ==<br />
You have the right to protect the image of your artwork or performance.<br />
<br />
You have the right to ask someone to stop taking images of your art or performance if you don’t approve.<br />
<br />
You have the right to be credited for authorship of your artwork in any published use of your work, and negotiate the terms.<br />
<br />
You have the right to enforce copyright and trademark ownership of your unique artwork.<br />
<br />
In the case of using images of artworks for editorial use, we encourage the media to credit specific artists.<br />
<br />
== '''PARTICIPANT RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES''' ==<br />
You have ultimate responsibility for your image, and should ask photographers how your image will be used. If you encounter a problem, report it to a Ranger or at the Media Centre.<br />
<br />
You have the right to ask someone to stop taking a picture of you, recording your image or recording your voice in any way. However, keep in mind the nature of radical self- expression – capturing expression is a form of self-expression.<br />
<br />
You have the right to know what someone plans to do with your image.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''USE OF IMAGES TAKEN AT AFRIKABURN (OTHER THAN PERSONAL USE) IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF AFRIKABURN.'''<br />
<br />

<div>'''ALWAYS CARRY A BAG AND USE IT'''<br />
<br />
This way when you have finished that drink, energy bar, chewing gum, or packet of crisps, you don’t have to hold on to the wrapper or can until you find a solution. It’s there already, hanging from your shoulders.<br />
<br />
'''NEVER LET ANYTHING HIT THE GROUND'''<br />
<br />
This applies everywhere in Tankwa Town – in your camp, at a Theme Camp, on a dancefloor, anywhere.<br />
<br />
'''SECURE EVERYTHING IN YOUR CAMP'''<br />
<br />
You never know when a windstorm is going to happen.<br />
<br />
If everything in your camp is secure at all times, nothing will blow away. Have bins with lids. Many red scores on our MOOP map are from micro MOOP left in a camp. Duct tape old 5-litre water containers with small holes cut out onto your tent poles for convenient micro MOOP capture.<br />
<br />
'''SMOKERS - CARRY A PORTABLE ASHTRAY'''<br />
<br />
Always have a small container for your stompies and spent matches. They make great gifts - bring extra and give them away.<br />
<br />
'''RESPECT THE DESERT FLOOR'''<br />
<br />
Do not sweep the desert floor. Not for your artwork, not for your camp (you can move big rocks, but no sweeping). Desert rocks and stones don’t magic themselves back into place once you’ve left. Those scars stay forever. Do not dig holes for your grey water, nor your own toilets on your camp site.<br />
<br />
'''NO DIGGING OF HOLES'''<br />
<br />
Unless it’s a part of an artwork’s supporting structure. Any holes dug by art crews must always be filled in again.<br />
<br />
'''IF YOU SEE MOOP - PICK IT UP'''<br />
<br />
If you see MOOP on the ground in Tankwa Town, please pick it up and take it with you.<br />
<br />
'''NO TRASH IN THE TOILETS'''<br />
<br />
Please don’t put anything other than human waste and the one-ply toilet paper supplied into the toilets. Any foreign objects in the tank/s can break or destroy our toilet pumps – please make sure your scarf, glasses, shirt or any other objects don’t fall in!<br />
<br />
'''GOT A GENERATOR?'''<br />
<br />
Soundproof it using non-flammable materials – but be sure you don’t cover the exhaust or air intake. Alternately, go green by not bringing a generator (rather get solar panels, deep cycle batteries and an inverter to do the same job).<br />
<br />
NOTE: generators cannot be run between 7am and 11am Monday to Thursday of our event week.<br />
<br />
'''SECURE YOUR LOAD'''<br />
<br />
When leaving, pack carefully and make sure your rubbish and other items do not come loose on the ride home and litter the highways. Hunt about for large feedbags or sugar bags to put your black bags in. They’re tough enough<br />
<br />
to withstand high-speed winds as you head home on the R355. Once you have packed your load, secure it with bungee cords, ratchet straps or rope – whatever you use, make sure your load cannot come off under any circumstances. To check that it stays put, pull over every now and then and check, and re-secure it (because the R355 is famous for rattling things loose).<br />
<br />
Dump your rubbish, or your RV / campervan grey water, or blue water (i.e: chemically-treated toilet effluent) on the R355 on the way out. Don’t dump anywhere - not on farm roads, not picnic spots and not even in the bins – the desert wind shreds everything, and sends MOOP miles downwind. Take your trash home, and dispose of it responsibly – and definitely don’t dump perishables or opened packets of food at Collexodus, as this is a health hazard.<br />
<br />
Please join your neighbours on Sunday and Monday after the burn, or schedule two hours on your own during your stay to help clean up Tankwa Town. Restore your campsite and conduct a MOOP sweep to inspect your space. You’ll be surprised how much stuff you’ve left lying around. Go to the Volunteer Booth at 8-ish if you want to be steered to a particular clean-up project.<br />
<br />
Want a Green on the MOOP Map? Get your camp signed off by a member of the LNT crew at Off-Centre Camp to get your camp OK’d and signed off before you leave.</div>Victoriahttps://quaggapedia.afrikaburn.com/index.php?title=IN_TANKWA_TOWN&diff=289IN TANKWA TOWN2022-03-22T10:27:28Z<p>Victoria: </p>
