People who know me know I am a pleasure hater. Sometimes too direct, sometimes too honest, that’s why I struggle with being nothing but positive about an event like Burning Man. I see all the problems of this event and there are many things I constantly question. On the other hand I meet beautiful people, play amazing stages, and sometimes even the parties are absolutely insane. I have seen some amazing art pieces in the past 10 years of burns, though I was left a bit disappointed with the art this year. I miss the political statements that a big event like this can make, but the discussions we had at our camp and out in the playa mean a lot to me. BM is far too white and far too privileged in my opinion, but still there are so many people throwing all their energy and love into this communal experience.
It has been a very intense year for me with a lot of changes and a big part of it started at last year’s BM. 1 year of sobriety and a lot of things happening in my life, so returning to BM felt like closing a circle. Going to the temple again 1 year later felt really healing. Not sure if everybody heard about the temple there. It’s so intense and it’s almost impossible to not cry once you enter this place. Probably the realest place at Burning Man. You see 2m full body muscle guys crying like babies and every cm in the temple is covered in messages of grief and loss. So intense. So real. So painful. So healing once you open up and let go yourself.
in the end I can’t pretend BM is not doing anything to me. I have crazy experiences, best laughs, I feel the desert and I meet people that are real, having the best time with so many friends from all over the world, old ones and new ones and hanging out with artist friends that you sometimes only see for a quick hello in the club.
In the end I have to say I had a fuckin great time, I love our camp G that managed to throw some of the best parties on the playa and I am truly grateful to be part of this camp and thank you to @gaby.noins , @aljoscha_victor , @lanadelrachell , @kimmzys , and all the @camp.gs and to all the crews that invited me to play ❤️
Last words:
Keep talking about Palestine!!!!
love, Michi

I don’t know if you read all the responses, but I will give it a try:) My first BM and first time hearing you music and it was epic! It made me follow you here (and I believe your future gigs) I believe artists like us (I’m an actress) should talk about worldwide problems (and politics in a way) and do try to make a change and spread love with our art. But I think it has to cover all injustices and address pain from all sides, because there is never one bad side and one good side. I’m writing as an Israeli-Jew (born in Ukraine, family Holocaust survivors and some not) whose heart is torn from all the hostages dead and alive, all innocent lives being taken by war both Israeli and Arab. There is a reason its called “Israeli-Arab conflict” its complicated. I wish that people will be fully deeply educated on the subject. And then I think what about the Ukraine-Russia war? The war in Burma (no one talks about)? Africa and many Arab countries whose civilians living under suppressing regimes and being murdered every day. So let’s not stop talking about all of that🙏 I wish for peace. I wish for a free world- free from the influence of governments making harm to the civilians of planet earth. I wish your music and my roles will make a change, even just a small one❤️ @madmotormiquel
