Roxane writes about how communities organise, fund and sustain their own work, and the place of creative and cultural expression in it. As institutional funding retreats, community-led models are being asked to carry more, and her reporting follows what people build in that gap.

She has written for the Burning Man Journal on the global regional network, and how community and art is created in these temporary communities, and on Burners Without Borders, a volunteer-driven network supporting community resilience and civic action in dozens of countries. Her writing has been published in the Global Development for the Guardian and Devex. She has also written on art grant programmes and on how creative practice is used for community building and collective healing.

Her book Once Upon a Time in the Dust: Burning Man Around the World was published by Burning Man Publishing in 2023. It follows a year spent at seven regional events on six continents, exploring how community forms around similar principles in widely different cultures.

She has worked extensively on international development projects in Africa and Central and South America, evaluating how programmes are designed and sustained and making recommendations for how they could be better anchored in the communities they serve.

She has travelled to more than 80 countries and documents what she experiences through writing and photography.
