Far beyond actually, as people brings, bars, art installations, sound systems, and workshops. So attendees bring all they’ll need to survive in the desert food, water, shelter, vodka, condoms, and the list goes on. Burning Man is said to be centered around self reliance and a gifting system. The less glamorous side.īurning Man is based on 10 key principles to guide activity during this ‘expression’ of art. They illuminate a side of Burning Man less seen.
