WAFDust Podcast: "The Solar Shrine... Afrofuturism at Burning Man" with Antwane Lee
2022 was the year that Afrofuturism arrived at Burning Man in the shape of architect Antwane Lee's "The Solar Shrine" - a piece inspired by his interest in Egyptology, African history and community.
Though conceived prior to the launch of Burning Man Organisation's R.I.D.E. initiative - to attract more people of colour to the event, the project was one of several created by Black artists attending the week long gathering for the first time.
We caught up with Antwane to find out more about his first Playa burn.
WAFDust Podcast "Museum of No Spectators" with Absinthia - Co-Lead
In the world of Burning Man what should a museum represent? How should it entice the audience into experience the art, and how different will it be from other museums?
One project that will answer some of these questions is the Museum of No Spectators. It started as a virtual project, and will be one of a few pieces from the virtual burn that will be built for Burning Man 2022.
We chat with Absinthia, co-lead of the project to find out how the experience will offer participants a chance to take centre stage at the museum.
WAFDust Podcast "Drishti" with Kirsten Berg - Artist
In WAFDust podcast #23 we chat with Kirsten Berg about her third Burning Man honoraria award to create Drishti , which will be unveiled at the 2022 event.
Her work has graced the hallowed rooms of the Smithsonian, the National Museum of Singapore, the San Francisco Exploratorium and of course Black Rock Desert.
Kirsten says her art is influenced by her yoga practice, and Drishti is the physical manifestation of a vision.
WAFDust Podcast Season Two. "New Beginnings" with Luke Jerram - Artist
In WAFDust podcast #22 we chat with multi-disciplinary artist Luke Jerram, about "New Beginnings", the latest addition to our exhibition at Ashton Court in Bristol.
New Beginnings is the first in a series of coin sculptures to be made by Luke which are animated and completed by members of the public. Some sculptures will be temporary, whilst others, will be permanent, creating a slowly changing landmark in the landscape, a destination and focus for public discussion.
The giant wooden seed sculpture is proving to be very popular, as members of the public are invited to make a wish, as they hammer coins into the piece.
WAFDust Podcast 21 - "Burning Man, What's It Like?" with Annabelle Redfern, Psychologist
In WAFDust podcast #21, we explore what it's like to be a newbie on the Playa, by chatting with Psychologist Annabelle Redfern who went to Burning Man for the first time in 2019.
Her clinical assessment is both a reminder of every Burners' first time, as well as a self-help guide for those planning to make the pilgrimage whenever the event is next held.
This is also a question that comes up often in our Clubhouse chats.
