ИСТИНА

«Burning Man» is an event held annually in the western part of the United States at Black Rock City, a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada. Every year, thousands of people from all over the planet come together to build the Black Rock City — a seasonal community that embodies human collaboration, self-expression, creativity, and art. The name "Burning Man" comes from the symbolic ritual - burning of a large wooden sculpture ("the Man") that usually takes place on Saturday evening of the event. More than 70,000 people went to «Burning Man» in 2018. While «Burning Man» festival does not have a single focus, its movement is loosely defined by 10 principles that are meant to protect its culture and values. In our report we will talk about these ten principles and about the impact of the festival on culture and people.
