First Time at Kiwiburn? Read This.
So you got a ticket. Amazing. Slightly terrifying. Completely normal. If this is your first Burn, the most important thing to know is that it is not a festival in the usual sense. There are no food stalls, no shops, and no one whose job it is to make sure you are...

Guiding Principles
Communal Effort If the Guiding Principles were a band, Communal Effort would probably be the bass player. You can’t really see them when the band is jamming, but if they suddenly packed up and left, the music would suddenly sound really shitty. In very simple terms,...
