taBURNak! Followup

Well, it's been two weeks since taBURNak!, the event that I helped organize and did the art coordination for, and the images from it are beginning to trickle in. So I thought I'd share some with you!

The event couldn't have gone off better. Good vibe, amazing art, incredible performances. We couldn't have asked for a better crowd or turnout. We unfortunately had to turn people away at the door, but we were so pumped by all the interest and participation in this event!

I addition to all the music, we also had some pretty incredible fire and burlesque. I don't have the list for circus and burlesque, but here's fire-

We had a tie dye workshop put on my Jay Tripper, where the participants could dye something and then see their results the next day. And what spectacular results they were!

As well we had two photo booths set up to capture the participants during the event. The first one was put on by Photographer Danielle Holmes with costumes by Kendall Made. The participants could dress up in Kendall costumes for their photos. For the full album go here.

The second photo booth was set up by photographer Andrei Kalamkarov, to document the people as they came to the event. Such magnificent costumes worn by all! For the full album go here.


Thanks to our INCREDIBLE team who pulled this off! Thank you to all of those who spent months organizing and creating this event, and the dozens of others who volunteered the day of the event to help make it possible!

This was such a huge event, and there's not a single person on the team who wasn't fully donating their time as a volunteer to support the values of community building and celebration. You're all amazing!
