‘When you’re walking around the Binnekring at AfrikaBurn, you’re looking people in the eye – there’s an immediate engagement and openness. It’s something we lack in day-to-day living, especially in an urban environment. We’re so atomised, in our own headspace with our blinkers on, trying to get things done. It opens up your energy and makes you more perceptive in interactions. AfrikaBurn is an incredible visceral, imaginative playground that reminds human beings to nurture their playfulness and their connection.’
