Nothing at all. Niet. Zilch. Nil. Fokkol. It’s what we bring to the desert and create together that makes AfrikaBurn what it is. Without you, your ideas, your camp, your project, your dream, there’s nothing.

That’s the magic of AfrikaBurn – it’s a blank canvas. A raw, barren open space where things happen through you – the participant. Every artwork and mutant, every project and plaything, is a gift brought to the desert by someone just like you. It’s the people who make the dust dance that are so important, and without your contributions there would be no AfrikaBurn.

Project registrations for 2025 have opened! It’s your chance to bring your vision to life, and your chance to ask for help. Whether it’s how the flame effects are going to be achieved, or how to build a 30 metre high coelacanth, we are here to help you with the questions you don’t have answers to. And it all begins when you register your creative project on TIM.afrikaburn.org.

The Information Machine – the centre of all registrations and support for creative projects. Come lay the groundwork for your project and your ideas will shape the upcoming event. AfrikaBurn is your stage, and the spotlight is waiting for you. Whether it’s a flaming Finnish flamingo or a maroon mechanised mutant mongoose, now’s the time to register it and mak’n plan to bring it to the desert.

The blank canvas awaits.
