"Kurenivka: Reclaiming Home" is our cozy corner at Burning Man, a heartfelt nod to Ukrainian culture amidst the echo of distant turmoil. Here, art and stories weave through the air like the scent of borsch, bridging worlds and warming hearts. It's our way of lifting Ukraine's spirit onto the global canvas, painting strokes of unity, resilience, and hope against the backdrop of challenge. Our gathering is a delicate tapestry of healing and connection, a place where shared moments and cultural treasures light up the path home. We're not just about celebration; we're about coming together to honor our journey, fostering a sense of belonging for all who seek refuge in the embrace of community.

Each camp participant is allocated an area on the camp's territory for setting up a tent, parking a car, or parking an RV.

Kurenivka Lounge

In our camp’s heart, a vibrant lounge with a lively sound system awaits, serving as the perfect spot for savoring borsch, exploring Petrykivsky painting in our workshops, and embracing guests with Ukrainian warmth.

Piece of Art

Kurenivka isn't just about themed interactivity; since our very first year, we've been a conduit for art on the playa, varying in scale and craft but always rich in meaning. This tradition continues unwaveringly into this year, promising another memorable contribution.

Hot meal plan

Forget about Michelin stars – our culinary magic comes straight from the heart, fueled by a trailer stocked with professional equipment, a fleet of refrigerators and freezers, and a deep love for delicious, quality food.

Water supply and pumping for RV

The required water supply is for the kitchen, showers, and RV refilling.Grey water tanks to collect dirty water and transport it out of the desert.

Power supply for RV

Our camp is powered by a large, quiet, and fuel-efficient diesel generator. It operates around the clock to ensure the smooth running of RVs, air conditioners, and essential gadgets. It also reliably powers our refrigerators, freezers, and lighting, providing comfort and convenience day and night.

Сommunal bike

Our camp has dozens of bikes with mileage ranging from 1 to 10 burns. They are not new, worn and often rattle, but having them will allow you to save money and be responsible with your consumption.

Showers

This year, we are bringing a specially equipped trailer with showers.

Shade Structures and Hexayurt's

Adjacent to the lounge, our camp features a shaded dining space and a tent area equipped with Bedouin tents and awnings, providing a comfortable escape from the intense sun and protection against potential heavy rain, ensuring we're ready for any weather extremes similar to those experienced in 2023.The camp also has a limited count of hexayurts and shift pods.

Wi-fі

We do not guarantee fast Internet access because we have only one Starlink and many people always want to go online. Nevertheless, the Internet will be available.

Dj 

Our camp is a haven for DJs, created by DJs, making it a paradise for those behind the decks. With top-notch sound equipment, an enthusiastic audience, and a stunning setting, we provide everything needed to craft the best mix of your life.

Camp co-financing

The camp has a transparent general budget that is funded through camp fees. All camp expenses, including ART, are funded from this budget.

How much is life?

Photo: Kurenivka mudslide. 13 March 1961, Kyiv, Ukraine. A technological disaster. As a result of the erosion of the dam, tons of pulp from the Babyn Yar flooded the Kurenivka region and led to numerous victims. The only thing left after the disaster is well for the flushing on the site No3 of Babyn Yar. This year, our art piece is a thought-provoking replica of a well situated on the playa. At night, the bottom of the well becomes a canvas for motion animation, casting light on the dark truth of how totalitarian regimes devalue human lives. It poses the fundamental question: How much is life worth?
