Join us to celebrate the mid-point in our burning year for a seriously
mad-capped cultural PETRI DISH of a Burnal Equinox!
Burning Man is a fertile “petri dish” of the Self and Community, where
people bring bizarre and marvelous ingredients of self-expression and
collaborate to create new expressive forms and ways of life. We can
now scarcely be contained in the Black Rock Desert and our experiment
is spilling over into the larger world at an alarming rate. We invite
your imagination to spill over, too! Get in touch with your inner
mad-scientist-art-splicing-bio-blingy-socio-cultural-reinvention-badass-funtastic-truly-amazing-self
and BRING IT! Your art, your ideas, your creative spark and wild-eyed
passion for what’s possible!
In the spirit of invention and play, mad scientist and inventive
attire of every conceivable kind is encouraged at this celebration;
help bring the playa to SF and embody your own unique
“cross-pollination” of imagination and boundless reality. It’s a
challenging new world and we are going to live and invent it TOGETHER!
So, reunite with old friends and new as part of this marvelous and
evolving community experiment!!! We wouldn’t dream of doing it without
you!
Whether you come as a hive of virtuous honey bees or the dreaded Dr.
Birgin Sparklepony! ...or choose to skip all the fuss and come as you
truly are—we look forward to BEEing with you and experimenting
together!
PARTICIPATE in COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE ART at BURNAL EQUINOX:
What strange and marvelous experiments do YOU have percolating in your life right now? What previously un-thought-of pools of possibility are you dipping your toes into these days? This year's Burnal Equinox (inspired by the larger Fertility theme) reminds us that our Burning Man community is a microcosm - a Petri Dish - in which we create and experiment with new modes of interacting
with each other and our environment. And so we invite you to share with us what's growing in your personal petri dish. Please bring an object that represents something you are experimenting with in your own life (to be placed in a real live 4ft wide community petri dish) and we will co-create a temporal mandala ode to the coming together of our personal experiments into a collective vision of
beauty.
Art and performances to stimulate your acclimation to this experimentation!
Join us at 7pm for 80s aerobic drink specials and
a special 80s edition of Burlesque Tease n’Tone™ with Mz. K!
