a portal to regen·era lands
at Black Rock City in 2025
regen·era is a floating protopian city that docks periodically around the globe, offering all the chance to encounter radically hopeful and inclusive visions of what could be — and what already is.
The piece invites participants to suspend disbelief and step into a world where cooperation and imagination shape civic life. Philosophically rooted in decolonizing the imagination, the installation expresses a commitment to participatory futures that are pluralistic, hopeful, and grounded in justice.
Aligned with Burning Man 2025’s theme, “Tomorrow Today,” this installation embodies the belief that building a better world starts now, with small actions, shared visions, and collaborative creativity.
We hope visitors leave inspired and activated, ready to carry the memory of this possible world into the one we’re building now.

What is regen·era portal?
Powered by the sun and constructed from reclaimed and renewable materials, regen·era is co-created by artists, designers, systems thinkers, and storytellers shaping regenerative futures.
The city itself is an evolving demonstration of what it means to live in harmony with the Earth and each other.
This portal at Burning Man marks one of these rare dockings, giving the citizens of Black Rock City a chance to explore and embody their role in co-creating this world that works for all of life.
