Burning Man Netherlands is an affiliate of Burning Man Project. The Burning Man Netherlands Community is a collection of people inspired by the Burning Man event in Nevada USA. We are guided by the Ten Principles of Burning Man and have come together to collaborate on art projects and events throughout the Netherlands and Europe. We see the Burning Man Netherlands community stretching throughout the whole region of the Netherlands and not necessarily stopping at these borders.
A Non-Profit Organization
The mission of Burning Man Netherlands is to facilitate and extend the culture that has issued from the Burning Man event into a larger world. This culture forms an integrated pattern of values, experience, and behavior: a coherent and widely applicable way of life.
Burning Man Netherlands will bring experiences to people in grand, awe-inspiring and joyful ways that lift the human spirit, address social problems and inspire a sense of culture, community and cultural engagement.
The Ten Principles
- Radical Inclusion
- Gifting
- Decommodification
- Radical Self Reliance
- Radical Self Expression
- Communal Effort
- Civic Involvement
- Leaving no Trace
- Participation
- Immediacy
The Culture
“People come to Burning Man events from all over the world and say “why can’t my community be more like this? We say it can.”
Burning Man NL supports cultivating projects and activities across multiple disciplines. We provide infrastructural tools and frameworks to support our community in applying the Burning Man ethos.
