Temple of Curiosity

The Temple is a place of belonging. It is bold and proud and will max out your senses, generating specific responses in each individual who experiences the work, creating a community and building identity. The Ilukuluku tribe have spent the last two years raising money and painting all the panels for the massive structure.

The Ilukuluku tribe have worked extremely hard to raise the money to build the structure, by making products, holding events, loads and loads of initiative over the last couple of years. The project is supported by Afrikaburn and Burning Man. Dulux SA have sponsored all the paint.

The Ilukuluku tribe have worked multiple weekends painting all the panels for the massive structure. The structure is not going to be burnt, the panels will repurpose all the hand painted plywood panels for educational purposes.

August 2020 update
Due to Covid 19 the Temple of Curiosity could not be built for Afrikaburn 2020. Ilukuluku tribe had promised the panels to the Disneyland ECD School, Tuscany Glen, Blue Downs and as structure has been delayed the panels were not available to give to the school. Shaun Sebastian came up with another plan to use Morag's patterns to repaint the school. So Morag worked with Shaun to get the patterns onto the walls. Big thank you to Dulux SA for supplying all the paints for the project.
