Monique Schiess and Robert Weinek are the founders of AfrikaBurn, a festival that takes place in the Tankwa Karoo. It is a blank canvas that participants project onto what they want, as such it is defined by those attending the event. For participants, it is a chance to “invent the world anew.”

The event is a an explosion of creativity, inventiveness, community, gifting, and civic mindedness. AfrikaBurn is going into its 7th incarnation and is an offshoot of the 25 year old Burning Man Festival that happens in Nevada, USA. Monique Schiess and Robert Weinek will be speaking at CreativeMornings/CapeTown this month.
