Get a first look at the incredible art coming to Black Rock City this year!
Desert Arts Preview is your chance to step behind the scenes and meet the artists, hear their stories, tour their studios, and explore the creative visions coming to life.
Kauyumari Ceremonial Center – Leyla Brashka
Kauyumari, blue deer in Wixárika language, will manifest in the Black Rock City desert as a huge deer handicraft, modeled after the one the Wixárika culture—one of the most important and resilient root cultures in México—creates to reflect their experience and rituals while in ceremony, in connection with the sacred peyote plant, the desert, and their ancestors.
It will be a ceremonial center that honors the grandfather peyote and Wixárika culture, cosmogony, traditions, and rituals, as an offering made in co-creation with the Wixárika community. Open workshops will be held with them and other artists to co-create the deer skin in collaboration with the Mexican community, inviting everyone to be part of it and set their energy and love into it.
