The 10 Principles of Burning Man

It has been almost 20 years since Larry Harvey set out the 10 Principles of Burning Man to help guide regional events in organizing their own regional events. While many burners have them memorized (and some even tattooed on their bodies using the 10 Symbols of Burning Man), sometimes explaining them makes things… inordinately complicated. So, in the spirit of brevity and gifting, I offer up these haiga as a crash course on the 10 Principles.

Radical Inclusion

Gifting

Decommodification

Radical Self-Reliance

Radical Self-Expression

Communal Effort

Civic Responsibility

Leaving No Trace
