Kiwiburn’s art theme for 2009 is “FUTURE HISTORY”

Kiwiburn presents alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. Let our future return to our past, let ancient cities and temples spring up in the year 3000 wasteland of the Moon colonies, let history repeat. Atlantis, Greece, Egypt, China, Aztek, Maori, Celt... ancient civilisations speak to our future. Come in toga, come in a spacesuit, come and create: Future History

Kiwiburn is New Zealand's annual regional Burning Man event. Kiwiburn will be held at Whakamaru Domain, Mangakino. Dates still to be determined, but is always held on or around Waitangi Day Weekend (Feb 6th).

Kiwiburn is a collective experience. Everybody contributes, everybody pays. As there are no paid performers at the event, there are no spectators and what is shared are the passions and dreams of those who gift them. You cannot "attend" Kiwiburn, but you can be a part of it.

There will be no money exchanged for anything at the event.

Due to this collective nature we cannot offer you a program or featured artist list. You can check out the list of registered theme camps and art installations, but as to the true nature of what will be at Kiwiburn, we have no idea - and that's half the beauty. The Survival Guide and a list of registered contributions will help give you some indication, however this can not be a complete list due to the spontaneity of the event.

What we can tell you is that there will be a Center Camp with a stage, generator and amplifier for people to display their skills, be they dj's, musicians, cultural groups, poets or stand up comics. What do you do? What do you want to share?

There will be art installations and people in costume, fire spinners, drummers... but that's just us, and what we are doing... bring your passion and share with us your dreams.
