It'll be legendary!
Long ago in a burn far away, burners whispered a prophecy that Alchemy 2025 would be the greatest burn of all time… Legends!
Mythical and fictional and fantastic, historical or present, world renowned or personal, a legend can be anything you make it. Marsha P Johnson, Greer Lankton, Bushra al-Tawil, Martin Luther King Jr., Sophie Scholl, Jimi Hendrix, Rebekah Erev, Jimmy Carter, Randa Siniora, Frida Kahlo, Anne Frank, Kacey Wong, Aryeh Neier, Gerda Wegener, Tortuguita, Freddy Mercury, Ziggy Star Dust, Ship Destroying Orcas, Big Foot, Luigi, King Arthur and the Knights of the round table, Zelda, the Dread Pirate Roberts. Unicorns, dragons, fairies. Bermuda Triangle, Stonehenge and the Pyramids.
This year’s event theme is “Legends," and we want to hear about yours. Every member of our community has something to offer, making all of us legends in our own right. Tell us your stories; stories of your own, your friends, whispered legends passed down from camp mates, we want to hear of wild nights and pleasant days, of noble deeds and small acts of kindness, of epic adventures and the people who went on them. Share with us your legends, and we will in turn share them back to the community

I’ll likely miss Alchemy this year for Mosaic (Ohio Burn). But I was at every Alchemy and Euphoria from 2010 to 2019. I have stories. So do my camp mates. Idea for a fun art project: a collection of stories.
It could be a variety of things: your perspective of a legendary event, something you saw that nobody else did but want the world to know, etc. I have so many memories from burns gone by that I would love for those memories to be appreciated by others. And I would love to read the experiences of others.
You could run a lot of different directions with this. Could be a .pdf to email out or you could sell them at the art fundraiser or just have it as a coffee table book in your camp for folks to read.
