So Last night I found out about the Burning Man Project. For a week every year, a whole city emerges and people from all kinds of different places come to live there. After the week, it all gets packed up and put away. This odd festival is all about community coming together, and about artistic expression. The place is filled with art and huge installations, and theatre and music and…well, lots of stuff.

All aspects of the event emphasize participation and acceptance of Absolutely Everyone. It’s an environment where people can just be themselves without getting judged or anything. A neat idea.

Maybe we’re not 100% doomed, if some 48000 people can actually make this work. I wonder if that means that 48000 people are going back home at the end of the week with a fresh perspective of equality and teamwork to show to other people…

We can always hope.
