A radical arts project in Derry~Londonderry.
In 2015, creative producers Artichoke brought Burning Man artist David Best to the city.
Together with people from across the community, they built a beautiful shared structure that measured 72ft high before it was ceremonially burnt. Temple turned traditional associations with bonfire burning in Northern Ireland on their head.
