What is Burning Man, the mysterious desert gathering?

À propos de cet épisode

From 27th August to 4th September 2023, Burning Man is set to return to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada for the first time since 2019, with an authorised population of 87,000 people. This event sees artists, creators and community-makers gather to celebrate self-expression. Every August, a temporary real city is set up to accommodate the festival. It actually becomes one of the most populated cities in Nevada during the event. Festivities end with a huge bonfire, where a large wooden effigy is burned, hence the name.  How did the event come to be? What happens during the event? Why is there a Burning Man? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
