TEMPLE ANAM CARA - BURNING MAN 2023

*more details coming soon

burningman.org/event/2023-art-installations/?yyyy=&aq=anam+cara

Rendering

The Temple Anam Cara is a Mexica pyramid and Celtic concept, a multicultural reference to a collective of ancestral heritages. A kinetic tree sculpture emerges from the temple roof with an interactive prayer wheel that engages the canopy of sculpted branches and roots in celebration of the cultural similarities shared through a love for mother Gaia. The base sanctuary is adorned by murals, mirrors and sound reactive LEDs to welcome all to offered ceremonial experiences. This sculpture is a creation in honor of the indigenous wisdom embraced by the creators of Temple Anam Cara, a shared expression of love of community, life and earth.
