Africa Burns (let’s burn some art)

Posted in Photography by grethal on September 20, 2009

What can I say, Afrika Burns was fantastic… It ruined all other festivals for me.

Afrika Burn is a 100% participant created and sponsored event involving radical self expression and self reliance. It’s an experiment in temporary community building exploring concepts related to art outside gallery and museum institutions.
Encouraging a culture of environmental mindfulness…

Hey lady. These are some really excellent photos. I’m well impressed. My favourite is of the silver armadillo car.

What a festival it was. So I see you there again next time?

Hi, could someone tell me who took the photo of Lady Davina Brown riding Robs mad max bike (with guy sitting in front). We would like to use it for a shrine in his/her honour. You may know Andrew Delport aka Lady Davina passed away unexpectedly last year, so a group of burners are putting together an installation in his honour. We would like to get permission to use it and access to a higher resolution shot to print out a photo for the shrine.
I’d appreciate if someone could get back to me.
Regards
Alex Noble
