AfrikaBurn 2019


The idea came to me at AfrikaBurn 2018: After I had passed the gates I was looking down at my wrist. The wristband I had just been given was made from pink plastic.  As a wristband artist, I feel a wristband should reflect the beauty of the event it is created for. It was this moment when the idea sparked to make the AfrikaBurn wristband an art project of its own. 

Mobirise

Five distinctive wristbands designs had to be created for the Crew, Kids & Minors, Suppliers, Mutant Vehicle Drivers and, of course, the wild AfrikaBurner bunch. I wanted to create something uniting but at the same time make each wristband unique to its wearers.

The wristbands all feature the same motif but during different times of the day.

Crew

500 pcs.

Mobirise

The wonderful AfrikaBurn crew has to rise early. That is why the landscape is portrayed at early sunrise. It is a bit chilly still, but the first warming rays of the sun appear at the horizon. Great day ahead!

Kids & Minors

500 pcs.

Mobirise

For the kids I wanted something bright and playful. I imagined a sunny morning with puffy clouds and everything gleaming in vivid colors.

General Admission

12.000 pcs.

Mobirise

For the general admission version the scene is a gorgeous sunset in colors you only believe when you first see them for yourself. I hope we all meet on a hill overlooking Tankwa, toast to the setting sun and hooooohooooowl. ;)

Supplier

200 pcs.

Mobirise

I see the suppliers as a nurturing force working tirelessly day and night to support this wonderful gathering in the desert. Therefore their wristband displays the scene at night.

Mutant Vehicle Driver

300 pcs.

TThe Mutant Vehicle Drivers wristbands have been black and white traditionally.
Tradition continued! ;)
