Burning Burners, Sparkly Sparklings, and beyond,
The Kiez Burn Newsletter is back🔥🔥🔥
And this means that the countdown to our favourite burn is officially on!
[[[cheering, horning, a couple of dramatic dismays]]]
And on that very note...
EVENT UPDATES & DEADLINES
📆 Tickets
The main sale for Kiez Burn tickets opens on April 1, at 17:00 Berlin time. ✨Warning: This isn't a joke✨
To get hold of your ticket and be the first to brag to the rest of your friends, stop kidding around and click this link when the moment has come - earlier than that, it will only lead to disappointment.
🌈Dreams Submissions
As you well know, Kiez Burn offers any independent DIY-Nerds, Artists or Creators so-called "Dreams and Art grants" so that they can turn their ideas into reality.
Yes, you've read well: Kiez Burn gives you some cash so you can do what you love doing!
You think you may be eligible for a grant? The submission process has already started, but you still have 📢one more week📢 to submit your ideas for Dreams and Art under this link.
🔜The dreams voting process will open on April 2 - you must have shared your idea with us before then, or else it may not get funded (a loss to you and to all burners!)
⛺Camp registration open
The Kieze (Kiez Burn camps with a Berliner flair) are the heart of our Burn and co-create the event.
If you represent an existing Kiez, or would like to start a new one, you can sign it up right here until May 24 to receive all the info you need to get things started.
Early registration runs until April 1. If you register early, we can invite you to the 🌟Spark campout🌟 (see Other Event news below)!
Placement on the festival site is only possible after registration, and on that note:
📍Site placement: New process!
Kieze/camps apply for their own spot on the Secret Forest map🧭. These applications are then reviewed by the Community, and democracy dictates who goes where.
You can find more info & placement tips here!
👷♀️👩🔧🧚♀️Open Roles
The organization for KB24 is kicking off - good stuff!
Kiez Burn happens only when burners get involved. Our event is run exclusively by volunteers – that means you!
The Kiez Burn community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, occurs through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing!
Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play.
While many roles have been filled already (thank you, early birds!), some Event Critical & Too Big Too Fail roles still need to be filled for this year's event to go through:
- LNT & Waste Management: Help make sure we leave Secret Forest even cleaner than we found it
- Perimeter: Work together with site liaison to figure out what the perimeter will be and how to delineate it
- Insurance: Negotiate insurance contracts and hand them to the Board
- Arbeitsamt: Help recruit & onboard new realizers
Apart from these crucial roles, there are a lot other open positions, including lights, fluffing, greeters, harm reduction...
If any of these activities is calling for you, head over to Open Roles page on WIKI and sign up. The whole KB Community will sleep better at night.
OTHER EVENTS
✨Spark
Spark is our annual campout at the Kiez Burn site - to plan, dream and get to know our new home :)
Dreamers, leads, guides, and a few core members per camp are invited to join, from April 19 to 21 at our new site: 🌳🍄S.e.c.r.e.t F.o.r.e.s.t🍄🌳
If you want to join the adventure, sign up here before the end of March.
🌚❤️🔥 Burn Night
Burn Night, aka our burner club night of fun, dancing, workshops, performances & other shenanigans is happening again on April 6!
Come and meet us at Birgit (Schleusenufer 3, 10997 Berlin - it used to come with a Bier, but hopefully you find some there still)
Grab your ticket & sign up for a volunteer shift here.
🚚 Storage Move
The move of the production storage from Freiland to Secret Forest will happen on the 13th and 14th of April. We're looking for volunteers!
If you can help on one or both days, in Freiland or Secret Forest, jump on the production move channel on Discord and let yourself known.
Camps are welcome to use that weekend to move their storage, to share the workload and take a peek at the new site before Spark. Together we can do this ❤️
❤️🔥Promethean Flames Fundraiser
On March 30 at 7 p.m. (6:30 p.m. for set up) the Promethean Flames will take over Görlitzer Park - specifically this spot - for a firejam.
