“We don’t book acts or provide entertainment. NO velvet ropes, NO barricades that separate you from truly participating in BRC. What happens at Burning Man is up to you, as a citizen of BRC. We value who you are, not what you have. And when given the opportunity participants are turned into active contributors to the character of a community. They become the fabric of what is possible.”
—Crimson Rose, Burning Man co-founder at Synergy Art Forum in Russia earlier this year.
