Burning Man is an annual experiment where a temporary community “dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance” comes together. There are no rules on how you should behave or express yourself at this event (“save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and experience of the community at large”); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community. It’s a bunch of diverse people who come together and form their Utopia. They finally release and enjoy all their artistic ideas. They feel like they belong here and can participate. As they say in their website “You're not the weirdest kid in the classroom — there's always somebody there who's thought up something you never even considered.” You're there to breathe art. The theme for 2011 is Rites of Passage.
Burning Man is a crazy mixture of art and expression easy to say its not for conventional people. Its a place where you are literally free to do as you please. But one thing to keep in mind if you plan to attend is that you need to provide everything vital for your own survival in the desert.
