Inquiry turns 10 this year (we're old) – and The Polaroid Project will return to the Mojave Desert next weekend (May 8-10) to document our double-digits celebration!

Every year at Curiosity, we put out instant cameras and disposable cameras so people can document the weekend from their own perspective — the dance floor, the camps, the dust, the weird bits, the sweet bits, the “you had to be there” bits.

Guests can grab a camera from the lounge, take photos throughout the weekend, then bring them back to caption and add to the photo wall. After the event, we save everything in albums as part of the growing Inquiry archive.

This year marks 10 years of Inquiry — a full decade of gatherings, desert dance floors, renegade magic, community effort, and lovingly organized chaos.

We’re raising money to buy:

Instax Wide film

Polaroid film

Kodak disposable cameras

Extra cameras

Albums, labels, markers, tape, and display supplies

Film is expensive, because apparently tiny rectangles of memory cost money. Rude, but here we are.

Every donation helps us put more cameras in people’s hands and keep building the archive year after year.

Even $5 helps.

Thank you for helping us preserve the weird, beautiful, dusty evidence.
