Out past the last fence in the Tankwa Karoo, a temporary city called Tankwa Town rises from red dust every year and vanishes again a week later, leaving barely a footprint. It's South Africa's own radical-self-expression gathering - mutant vehicles, gifting instead of buying, art built to burn - but with its own unmistakably African warmth and grit. Expect punishing sun, freezing nights, and a community that has been quietly building something remarkable in the middle of nowhere since 2007.
