The 10 Principles of Burning Man

By | 10 principles | No Comments

RADICAL INCLUSION

Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Iedereen kan en mag deel uitmaken van de Burning Man community. We verwelkomen en respecteren iedereen. Er zijn geen vereisten om deel uit te mogen maken van de community.

GIFTING

Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Geven is een belangrijk onderdeel van de Burning Man community. De waarde van een gift is zonder voorbehouden. Bij geven wordt, anders dan bij ruilen, niets terug verwacht.

DECOMMODIFICATION

In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Om de traditie van geven te behouden tracht de Burning Man community iedere vorm van commerciële sponsoring, transactie of reclame uitingen vermijden. We trachten onze cultuur te beschermen voor commercie en we geloven in deelname in plaats van consumptie.

RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE

Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Burning Man moedigt ieder individu aan om zijn of haar innerlijke bronnen te ontdekken, deze te ontwikkelen en er op te vertrouwen.

self reliance small

RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION

Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Radicale zelfexpressie komt voort uit de unieke gaven en talenten van ieder individu. Enkel de persoon zelf, of eventueel de groep waar hij of zij deel van uitmaakt kan de inhoud van deze zelfexpressie bepalen. Het wordt gezien als een gift aan de ander. Met dit in het achterhoofd dient de ‘gever’ de rechten en vrijheden van de ontvangers in de community te respecteren.

COMMUNAL EFFORT

Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

De Burning Man community hecht veel waarde aan samenwerking en meedoen. We streven ernaar om sociale netwerken, publieke ruimtes, kunst en communicatie-methoden die dergelijke samenwerking stimuleren mogelijk te maken, te promoten en te beschermen.

communal eff small

CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY

We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

De Burning Man community hecht waarde aan de maat-schappelijke omgeving. Bij het organiseren van evenementen nemen we verantwoordelijkheid voor het openbare welzijn. Zowel de organisatoren als de deelnemers van onze evenementen hebben verantwoordelijkheid om zich te gedragen in overeenstemming met lokale, provinciale en landelijke wetten.

civic resp small

LEAVING NO TRACE

Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

De Burning Man community respecteert de omgeving . We streven ernaar om geen sporen van onze aanwezigheid achter te laten wanneer we samenkomen. We ruimen samen alles op en zullen, indien mogelijk, onze omgeving zelfs beter en schoner achterlaten dan voorheen.

PARTICIPATION

Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

De Burning Man community zet zich in voor een drastische ethos van deelnemen. Wij geloven dat een transformatie, zowel individueel als gezamenlijk, slechts kan ontstaan door persoonlijke deelneming . We bereiken ‘zijn’ door ‘doen’. Iedereen is uitgenodigd om bij te dragen, te werken en samen te spelen. We maken de wereld door handelingen te verrichten die het hart openen.

partici small

IMMEDIACY

Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.

Direct ervaren is, op verschillende manieren, een van de belangrijkste waarden binnen de Burning Man cultuur. We proberen barrieres te overwinnen die tussen ons en de erkenning van onszelf staan. Laat je telefoon, horloge of het tijdschema voor wat het is en leef in het nu. Doe mee, ervaar en geniet. Het moment is er en er komt geen herkansing.

For movies, pictures and more check out https://www.facebook.com/dutchdecompression/

We start at 15.00!!! so be on time, we have a great program!!!!

The OFFICIAL Netherlands Burning Man Decompression Party will take place on November 21st at Radion / Broedplaats Acta in Amsterdam. Now is the time to show the world of Burners and other beautiful souls how decompression is done around here! Read more about the day time and night time programme below.

✩ Day time (free): 15.00 – 22.00
✩ Night time : 21.00 – 05.00
✩ Art: Come check it out 😉
✩ Music: Line up below
✩ Date: 21 November 2015
✩ Venue: Radion & Broedplaats ACTA (Louwesweg 1, Amsterdam)

Entrance to the day time event is free to everyone! It is divided between the “Concrete Playa” (outdoor) and Radion (indoor) and runs from 15.00 to 22.00. In accordance with true playa spirit BYO food and drinks are allowed outside until 22:00, whilst the bar and restaurant will still be open inside the club. Come have a look at many art installations, bands, DJs, workshops and a Dutch interpretation of the MAN that will populate the Concrete Playa! There will be tents and fire to keep you warm. The day time event is family friendly.

The night time event is inside Radion only, which has limited capacity and requires an entrance ticket (see link above). Local and regional DJ’s will host two awesome musical areas. In addition there will be a Center Camp-like space featuring crazy art installations, acoustic music, workshops and education activities. Radion is an exciting newly opened venue with an industrial vibe.

Dutch Decompression is created 100% by volunteers. Keep in mind that the ticket sale is intended to cover all expenses on art and other activities during the day time AND night time of the event. Any potential surplus ticket sales will be used for a future summer time event or to bring local art projects to Burning Man. Thanks very much in advance for your generosity which enables us to pull this event off :) !
