The act of kandi trading is so much more than the exchange of plastic beads and elastic. Kandi may look to those unaware as immature and childish, but the act of trading is held dear to the hearts of all ravers. They are our thoughts, and each are a small work of art unique to its creator. Our “bracelets” are tangible memories worn upon arms that are raised high in celebration of our lives, our freedom, and our love for one another.
