Australi The Ten Principles Of Burning Man

The ten principles of burning man are first radical inclusion. They want to insure that no one feels left out and everyone is welcome regardless. For example, that they had a couple from Australia who were burners that felt at home when they came to the burning man. The second is gifting in which you give and take. For example, when the children were making their own magic wands and the woman was gifting them with the supplies without them buying it. Third, decommodification burners don’t need to purchase anything to participate in the events. For example, when the burners were in the wheel and they could just walk up and join without paying a fee. Fourth, radical self-reliance burners can express themselves or discovers themselves the way
they want. For example, in the temple when the burners had a chance to write down anything they felt to be burned such as egos, grief, frustration, etc. Fifth, radical self-expression that every burner has their unique personality and others should respect it. For example, when King made the monkey mutant vehicle and even when he continuously made the monkey clap no one complained. Sixth, communal effort burners collaborate in order to make art work. For example, when they all were adding their own art and expressions onto wall street and watched it burn. Seventh, civic responsibility that those who want to displace adhere to the laws for the participants to be safe. Such as the law enforcement and firemen that were present at the burning man to make sure the event went along smoothly. Eight, leaving no traces to ensure there is no trash left just before everyone arrived. This is shown whenever one packed items that were reusable or recyclables such as cans, plastics containers, etc. Ninth principle, participation in vital in order to connect with others and to find yourself through the experiences. In King’s case he found out he wanted to be a coat designer after attending the Burning Man. Lastly, immediacy to surpass any limitation and connect with each other as a community. This is shown at the beginning of the video when they were welcoming each other “home” because to them their community was a family.
