The time has arrived to reveal the theme for 2023: ANIMALIA. 🔥 🐇 🐍 🐑 🙈 🐝 🦇🔥 • The Black Rock Desert can appear at first glance to be lifeless — other than, of course, the silly humans who build a city there every summer — but this is far from the truth. Anyone familiar with the high desert knows that even out on a dry lakebed, the skies carry soaring ravens and buzzing insects, the fairy shrimp slumber below ground waiting for rain, and countless other species roam the transition zones where the playa edges into scrub and wetlands. But all that life pales in comparison to the endless menagerie of imagined animals we bring with us every time we come to Burning Man. • Head to the Journal to learn more about this year’s theme and get the scoop on the now-open Honoraria Program. Let’s get wild. • 🔗 Link in bio. • Seen here: BRC 2023 theme graphic by @tannerboeger, featuring El Pulpo Magnifico by @duaneflatmo and Jerry Kunkel (photo by @slanoux), The Monumental Mammoth by @tahoemakesart (photo by Keith Aeschliman), Feeding on Dreams by Mark Dill (Photo by Dan Adams), Be Art by Jeff Schomberg (photo by @m.hammon.art), Teddy Bear by unknown artists (photo by Nikolai Sander), and @spacecatsbrc by Ayda Keshtkar and the Adenium Collective (Photo by @perryjulienphotography) #blackrockcity #brc #burningman #10principles #thankslarry
