"Desert to Dream: A Decade of Burning Man Photography"
The Black Rock Arts Festival (otherwise known as “Burning Man”) has become an annual pilgrimage for a generation of artists to the dry, desert, alkali flats of northwestern Nevada during the last days of summer. So many people from around the world gather to celebrate human imagination that Burning Man now qualifies as Nevada's fifth-largest city. Then it culminates Labor Day weekend with the burning of a four-story tall wooden sculpture of a "man".
Join us as photographer Barbara Traub shares her unprecedented photographic record of a decade of Burning Man celebrations -- from its infancy as a performance art exhibition in the late 80's to its explosion as a pop culture, community-driven phenomenon today.
