2022 was the year that Afrofuturism arrived at Burning Man in the shape of  architect Antwane Lee's "The Solar Shrine" - a piece inspired by his interest in Egyptology, African history and community.

Though conceived prior to the launch of Burning Man Organisation's R.I.D.E. initiative -  to attract more people of colour to the event,  the project was one of several created by Black artists attending the week long gathering for the first time.

We caught up with Antwane to find out more about his first Playa burn.
