Burning Man is an event held annually in the western United States at Black Rock City, a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. The late summer event is an experiment in community and art, influenced by ten main principles: radical inclusion, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, gifting, decommodification, participation, immediacy, and leave no trace.
DISTRIKT (@distrikt_org) is a San Francisco based 501c3 non-profit music and arts organization. Our mission is to support an inclusive and diverse community of performers and artists through events, partnerships, local community involvement and friendship. Originally founded at Burning Man in 2010 and based on Burning Man’s Ten Principles, DISTRIKT has evolved into globally recognized and respected organization and we are celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2019.
