The Burning Man
The Burning Man is an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, where participants gather to create a temporary city dedicated to art, self-expression, and community. The event culminates in the burning of a large wooden effigy, known as the Burning Man, symbolizing the release of creativity and the impermanence of art.
Founded in 1986, the event has grown from a small gathering to a large-scale festival attracting tens of thousands of attendees. It emphasizes principles such as radical inclusion, self-reliance, and communal effort, encouraging participants to engage actively and contribute to the unique environment.
