About The Kazbah.png

ABOUT
THE KAZBAH

The Kazbah is a community established in 2013 in San Francisco and originally built around the ambition of hosting great parties at Burning Man. The notion was simple, that if we could create an environment where everyone was taking care of everyone, then no one would hardly need a thing. Over the years we’ve evolved into an international hub for creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs. A space where we can come together, dream up big ideas, and a platform from which we can realize those dreams.

About the Kazbah

ABOUT
THE PROJECT

A community would be nothing without the individuals that support it, and over the years, our organization has been made possible entirely by the efforts and contributions of many amazing people that have believed in what we’re doing.  We’re creating our Genesis NFT as a means of directly connecting with and rewarding those who support us. On 4/4/22 at 4:44pm EST, we’ll begin minting 2,222 of these unique NFTs. The classifications will include 22 legendary NFTs (special artist collaborations), 444 rare NFTs (unique skins and textures), and 1756 classic NFT colorways. All will be randomly generated and assigned at mint for fair distribution.

About the NFT

ABOUT
THE ARTISTS

Each NFT will be a unique version of the art designed by the Kazbah team. Furthermore, there will be one of a kind designs assigned at random, which are created by world-class artists that we've partnered with. Our artist collabs include renowned visionaries such as Michael Benisty and Lefty Out There, among others. 

  • Why the pricing tiers for dues and what if I can’t come after all?
    If you’ve camped at Kazbah or visited us in previous years, then you already know about the family bond and unique vibe that is part of our identify for so many years. The meals we share, the music, the comfort and the chaos, the taste of luxuries yet the real deal Playa experience, the teamwork, the ethos, the love and the gifting back to the community as a family. More specifically, your dues will help us provide a family dinner every night, a 24/7 power grid, clean and functional showers, lounges, private camp bar, ice cold water and refreshments, ambiance, hookahs, running water and sinks for your cooking and cleaning needs, and everything that make The Kazbah prodcution possible.
  • What are these power fees/tags?
    Power Fee tags/permits are REQUIRED for all RV's wanting to tap into our 24/7 silent, efficient, safe and fume free power grid. The fees are $1,000 for the entire RV not per person. Everyone else (yurts, tents, shiftpods, etc.) are not required to pay power fees. Burning Man has strict gas storage rules so we ask you PLEASE NO PERSONAL GENERATORS or RV generators. We aim to keep you powered up all week hassle free and without the mess. Thank you for your understanding. We highly encourage folks to entertain the idea of ditching the RV if you dare ;) Some of us are quite excited to go back to the yurt villages this year, and we will have the amenities necessary to make your stay as comfortable as possible without having to resort to expensive RV options.
  • Can my friend(s) camp with us?
    While we would love to include everyone that loves the Kazbah and wants to be part of our camp, it is simply not feasible or sustainable to do so. Our camp list for this year has been finalized, and unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to add anyone else. If you would like to be included in our waiting list in case a spot opens up, please send us a message asking to be added.
  • What due my dues get me?
    Family forever during our most formative years. The meals we share, the music, the comfort and the chaos, the taste of luxuries yet the real deal Playa experience, the teamwork, the ethos, the love and the gifting back to the community as a crew.

    The money helps us pay for Logistics, Transportation, Generators and Power Grid, Quality Food and Beverages, Shelter, Decor, Camp Water, Infrastructure and comfort not to mention our generous gift and ever evolving Kazbah production across the street. Put simply, without camp dues, we cannot bring the Kazbah as you know it.
  • Are there showers?

The Kazbah team has employed its full creative potential and resources in the making of this project, and we've partnered with a capable and respected development team in the industry. Insiderz NFT has built and managed a number of highly successful NFT projects, and bring a lot of experience and resources to the table. Best of all, they are very familiar with the Kazbah, its vision, and ethos, and will work to translate that within the scope of our NFTs.
