burning man


Burning man is a festival in Nevada where once a year, thousands of people from all over the world get together at Black Rock desert, set up camp and create what they call Black Rock City.

What makes this festival so unique is that they function like a city, where all the citizens participate in creating art through radical self-expression and inclusion.  They don't set up big stages with big, commercial shows during the day and night.  Everyone there is expected to create some form of art and to express themselves.  What I saw from the video and from the people there, is just pure freedom without judgement, loving friendships and a sense of community.  They have this festival for a week and then leave the area completely deserted again, as if nothing happened.

This video was shot at Burning man and it is possibly the most inspirational video I've ever watched. 

It must be such an amazing experience to be there.  I hope I get to go someday.
