Burning Man is filed with white people, 87% white according to Burning Man's own 2014 census. Remarkably, this is even a higher percentage than the whole United States, which in 2014 was 62% white. Yet much of the chatter in the Burner community is about diversity, inclusion and "bringing the principles of Burning Man home". So what's going on?
What's going on is People of Color are doing Burning Man...and doing it in a way that may surprise and likely make you envious. From founding two large, successful theme camps to giving on-playa performances to creating a large-scale graphic art piece, POC Burners have a story to tell.
Whether your a Veteran Burner, Virgin Burner or Burner Curious, this is a night for you! Come learn about the POC Burner experience at our always radically inclusive East Bay Burners Social!
