Glastonbury Festival has invited fans to take part in its burning lotus experience, an art event that aims to provide cathartic relief as the world emerges from the COVID pandemic.Those attending this year’s festival will be able to contribute words and images to a 40 foot lotus sculpture located near to The Park that will be symbolically set alight at midnight on the last day (Sunday, June 26).
But those who are missing out will also be able to take part by sending entries via first class post by Thursday (June 23) so that they arrive on time.Participants submitting via mail are directed to address their letters to: The Burning Lotus, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, BA4 4BY.
Organisers have added that letters won’t opened unless the address is clearly marked on an envelope.Artist Joe Rush and his team have created the sculpture out of salvaged wood and canvas.
See Rush’s introduction to the installation in the video below.Even if you can't make it to Glastonbury, we want you to be a part of the Burning Lotus experience by sending in your contributions.
