From tickets to taking part, Fly Ranch is launching a writers workshop for women of color and Burners Without Borders and Southeastern Regional groups have joined forces to bring even more Burning Man-inspired civic projects into the world.
Can't wait to see all the art on playa? Desert Arts Preview is rocking up fast, so don't miss your chance for a sneak peak at projects and insights into the inspiration behind them.
And let's give a big Burner bear hug to the new Regional kid on the block: Turtle Burn. Taiwan is hatching a new edition to our ever-growing global clan.

Get your Kids Tickets
Kids have been an important part of Burning Man since the beginning. To better support young Burners coming to the playa with their families, we offer no-cost kids tickets for children 12 years old and younger. All kids entering Black Rock City need to have a Kids Ticket, which is only valid in conjunction with their parent's or guardian’s regular ticket or access credential.

BWB and Southeastern Regionals Combine Forces to Support More Civic Projects
Christopher Breedlove writes:
"I had the pleasure of travelling to Atlanta for the Southeastern Leadership Roundtable (SERT) this year, accompanied by several key members of the Burners Without Borders (BWB) team. The purpose of the trip was to give a keynote presentation about the evolution of Burners Without Borders, which included outlining the empowering steps Regional leaders can take to create their own BWB chapters and working groups. A focal point of the presentation was co-facilitating the BWB Civic Ignition Grant process and awarding grants selected by peers."

Fly Ranch: Writers of Color to Become Heroines of Own Stories
Yodassa Williams writes:
"From the moment I could read, I’ve been drawn to fantasy tales starring female heroines. Each time the heroine uncovers the magical destiny awaiting her, my heart races in excitement for the adventure ahead. I never anticipated my own life following a similar path, but since finding Home at my first Burn in 2014, my life has been filled with transformation, magic and creativity."

Remembering Larry: Playing With Words
Stuart Mangrum writes:
"In an essay we worked on together many years later, we referred to that collaborative state as a sort of murmuration, where everyone is at once a leader and a follower, and no one in particular is in charge. At the time, coming out of two tours in the Air Force, it was intoxicating for me to find such a generous and inventive creative partner. Our friendship grew as we worked together on Burning Man’s early communications."

Meta Talk on the Metamorphoses Theme
Halcyon writes:
"It feels like Burning Man themes fall into three categories. First, there are the 'Literal' themes that have some way to map them conveniently to the physical world. Like, The Body, Floating World, Carnival of Mirrors and I, Robot. It isn’t difficult to think of imagery that you could incorporate into a theme camp design, mutant vehicle or sticker. Floating World? How about a big fish? Or a sea anemone?"

China Goes to Burning Man and Reinvents it at Home
Ian Rowen writes:
"Chen’s depiction of Chinese tech entrepreneurs as rapacious wolves on the Mongolian plains is even more felicitous than he intended. In years past some Chinese Burners, including those well-acquainted with the Left Coast social firmament, had created delightful theme camps and art installations. Chen’s campmates, however, instead followed a path created by previous waves of entrepreneurs grasping for the sociocultural keys to the Silicon Valley kingdom."

Burning Man YouTube Channel: Winds of Change
World Wood Day writes:
"Driven by science and technology, the world is entering a new era and changing at a rapid pace. These changes profoundly affect the social, economic, and cultural outlooks of societies and individuals alike. In this documentary by World Wood Day, the 2018 Burning Man theme of 'I, Robot' serves as a reflection of humanity. Through different layers of conversations in the film, our emphasis is on transforming consciousness and behavior in all aspects of our lives — personal, social and planetary. We also focus on how the event affected individuals and gave them new perspectives required to change."
