Burning Man

"Bring everything you need for Radical Self Reliance."

Black Rock City Virtual Reality will host thousands of participants over 200 camps, a bevy of virtual art installations, and over 1,000 events.

Black Rock City organizers confirmed the news in a somber blog post.

CEO Marian Goodell shared a statement noting that mandatory vaccination "challenges the concepts of radical inclusion."

No matter the outcome, Marian Goodell says "art needs to happen."

The original name was changed due to "implicit biases" and "default perspectives" connected to colonial history.

Not all hope is lost for Burning Man in 2021.

"After a year without Black Rock City we’re all longing to reconnect – for a going home after all that staying home."

Burning Man devotees are turning sustainable systems into art, an effort that will support the organization's ambitious 2030 sustainability goals.

The festival's organizers announced the state of this year's edition in a February 18th blog update.

The group behind The Everywhen Project is planning a "transformative experience" on the playa.

A Burning Man Project exec said "it’s impossible to say right now if Black Rock City can happen in 2021."

"This is what happens when you cancel Burning Man," the meme's caption reads.

"Incandescence" aims to bring fans and creators closer through enlightened conversation.

"This art shouldn't sit in a warehouse."

Fans created their own avatars and explored a simulated Black Rock City to take in the lights and sounds.

But, will it be enough to save Black Rock City?
