ABOUT LAMPU

«Lampu» is an experiment of co-creating a community that is dedicated to radical self-expression, co-creation and cooperation.

This year’s theme for Lampu 2024 is MIRACLE.


Imagine yourself with the ocean wave lapping up to your ankles and filling the silence against the backdrop of a Balinese sunset. Lampu 2024, where the mystical energy of Bali blends with magic and transforms the same as spring does to a cherry tree.


Miracles happen to those who believe in them. We are inviting all to contribute and be embraced by wonder. Enjoy the spontaneous collaboration around a communal art piece, or quiet reflection in Bali's natural sanctuaries. At Lampu, together we build an ecosystem through our fantasy, open hearts, and respect for the land and culture that host us, we co-create an experience that transcends the ordinary, reminding us that life itself is the ultimate miracle.


Lampu is more than just an event. It's a call to participate in community, art and in expression of joy with local Bali vibes.

Principles

Anyone may be a part of Lampu. We welcome and respect the stranger.
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.
INCLUSION
DECOMMODIFICATION
CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION

Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote, and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.
We devote acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.
We encourage the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources.
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

GIFTING
RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE
LEAVING NO TRACE

Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the real world through actions that open the heart.
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
