Projects in London UK, Berlin, Paris?

[Demencha]

Hello! I am interested in working on large scale projects for Burning Man as well as any of its regional/related events. I am a multidisciplinary designer/artist and would love to do some hands on work on something awesome. However, I live in London and most big projects are made in the US. Even if I could find a way to afford going there for a few months to volunteer, something I have considered, I don't want to risk getting caught "working illegally" there.. the rules are quite prohibitive. Even working for free is only "allowed" if you are working for a small list of specific charities and internship schemes. I don't want to risk getting barred from the country.

So... I was hoping perhaps that there could be something in the works here in London, UK, that I could get involved in. If anybody knows of any projects in the works or people building large scale sculptures/installations here, that would be awesome if you could let me know. I'd also be happy to hear about work in Berlin or Paris as I could more easily live in those locations for a while.

(Also open to any big cool projects by Burners that aren't going to BM or related.)

There are regional groups all over Europe. Go to the main website (burningman.com) and find the regionals page. Sign up for any that interest you. They may have different levels of liveliness, so try more than one.

If you want to build art and Burning Man's too far away, do it anyway and bring it to Nowhere! Or one of the decompressions, Vienna and Berlin is happening in January and February.

There's not much need for volunteers, but we certainly need more art!
