The Magic When Art Happens

Tyson Yunkaporta is an artist and scholar of the Apalech Clan in
Australia. Caveat Magister is a Burning Man philosopher. They
explore ceremony, circumstance, and how art is not about the
object. They talk through the power of play, mining the margins,
and what indigenous peoples have known that modern people are
rediscovering. 


They discuss Black Rock City, Regional events, and the impact of
Gifting, Radical Inclusion, and the ‘wrong’ white people. They
explore ideas that are uncommon and uncomfortable: 


· the ethics of creating spaces where magic is more likely to
happen


· taking art back from the priestly class to restore balance to
the world


· how Burning Man has maintained integrity, if it even
has...
