TIME TO Play

- As told to Marli Meyer Photograph­s by Liza van Deventer

Is it a ritual? Is it a celebratio­n? Is it a festival? The website defines AfrikaBurn as ‘a community of participan­ts who come together to create art, burning structures, costume, performanc­e, theme camps, music, mutant vehicles and much, much more. All of this is created through the volunteer culture of the citizens of Tankwa Town in the Karoo once a year.’ We connected with a few people at AfrikaBurn 2017, then met up with them again afterwards to hear what they had to say about this social experiment.
