Marian Goodell, here. More important than ticket sales is the work we all do and should do to be good representatives of Burning Man culture on and off the playa. People enthusiastically share their Burning Man experiences, ideas, and concerns with me. Lately, participants have been talking about some alarming changes in the culture of Burning Man in Black Rock City, and their speculation as to who and what is causing them. This past November I attended an academic symposium in Switzerland on the spread of Burning Man culture.
A presenter from Finland shared several dozen observations and quotes from his participant interviews. The following really struck me:. Their gatekeepers are very discriminatory on who they let ride.
One gay couple said they had tried for 3 years to get on a vehicle and they were denied every time. That just broke my heart. How did we get here? Who thinks saying this is okay on or off the playa? The report is 55 pages long. Is this okay? How could it be? What about our principle of Decommodification? Posts of gratitude cross referenced with hashtags started off slow and innocently enough, but are now wildly out of control.
Failing to make clear what behavior is unacceptable has compounded the problem. I recently heard rumors of more than one product or business launch happening on playa in Seriously, people. Burning Man is anything but convenient, and therein lies its transformative potential! Black Rock City requires significant investments of time, energy, and resourcefulness.
Part of what makes Burning Man unique and powerful is that everyone has to work hard to be there. Planning, securing a ticket, packing, building, organizing, contributing, and engaging are part of the journey everyone should experience. Though it manifests differently for each one of us, personal effort is integral to the social agreement we make with our fellow community members when we decide to participate in Burning Man. Whether it is in Black Rock City or elsewhere around the world, Burning Man is not built for you, it is built by you.
