Welcome to Misto camp,

the rich cultural heritage of Ukraine. At the heart of the play,
Misto emerges as a colorful and lively camp, inviting Burning Man participants

MISTO CAMP ART PROJECT

This year, Misto Camp, in collaboration with artist Ola Rondiak, Ukrainian.US and G-Gallery,
wil present an art installation titled "Motankas".

The installation will feature three sculptures, each standing 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) tall and
constructed from metal and wood. These sculptures embody a resolute spirit, symbolizing
the unwavering struggle for freedom.

Rondiak's Motanka sculptures serve as talismans to protect and heal.
Inspired by the ancient Ukrainian rag dolls, which were passed down from mother
to daughter for good health and fortune, the Motankas connect us to the strength
of our ancestors. The sculptures reflect a determined spirit and stand strong
in their unyielding fight for freedom.

10 Principles of Burning Man

According to burningman.org

  • Radical Self-expression Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.
  • Gifting Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.
  • Decommodification In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
  • Radical Inclusion Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
  • Radical Self-reliance Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources.
  • Communal Effort Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.
  • Civic Responsibility We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
  • Leaving No Trace Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
  • Participation Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
  • Immediacy Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
