What is this, exactly
A camp. A collective.
Glåüm is a participatory theme camp rooted in art, absurdity, care, and the belief that humans do better when they have spaces to gather, create, and feel connected. We arrive at What If with carpets, strange music, soft lighting, improbable conversations, and an unwavering commitment to making people feel genuinely welcomed.
We are sponsored by Shrimp™.
The exact nature of this sponsorship remains unclear, but signs of approval continue to accumulate.
Glåüm is satirical in form and sincere in practice. We borrow from the aesthetics of mysterious organizations, ceremonial weirdness, and light bureaucratic absurdity because it's funny — but also because ritual, participation, and shared meaning genuinely matter.
How we show up
Our Principles
Dignity
Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Participation
Communities thrive when people contribute within their capacity.
Stewardship
No one person should be responsible for carrying the whole community.
Communication
We strive to communicate honestly, directly, and in good faith.
How to be in it
This Camp Runs on Participation
The Many Hands hold us all up. Sometimes we do the carrying. Sometimes we are carried. Everyone contributes in some way: setup, teardown, cooking, welcoming, cleaning, decorating, emotional support, infrastructure, care.
