The holy grail of racial self-expression, creativity, music, and spirituality Burning Man gets its name from the symbolic burning of a large sculpture made of wood, referred to as “the man.” Originating  in 1986 on Baker Beach in San Francisco, since 1991, Burning Man has become a permanent fixture in Black Rock City in northwestern Nevada.  Happening annually in the week before Labor Day in the US, the coveted 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. To that end, the week-long celebration features performances, spiritual events, and even workshops.
