“A city in the desert. A culture of possibility. A network of dreamers and doers.”
Burning Man is an experiment in community, art, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance that takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, USA.
The Burning Man event is guided by ten principles: radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation and immediacy.
This year’s theme is ANIMALIA. The event starts on August 27, and culminates with the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy, which is set alight on Saturday night, September 2, 2023 in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.
