How does being 1% of the population feel in a place you call "Home"?
Today we speak with four Black Burners, building the history-making sculpture "Black! Asé", about their experiences on Playa.
This original documentary short is dedicated to the entirety of Black Burners: those who have burned in the past, those who presently engage, and those who are yet to shape its future.
"Black at Burning Man: The New One Percent" functions as a storytelling ritual and a thought experiment; inviting the viewer to consider what more is needed to cultivate heightened inclusivity, improved accessibility, and a genuinely inviting atmosphere within non-traditional artistic domains. This is particularly relevant to people of the global majority, many of whom have a history of being excluded from an annual Black Rock City invite.

BLACK at BURNING MAN: What is it Really Like?
I like what that guys said about stereotypes. Which is interesting because African Americans invented Techno and House. But for some reason it's a stereotype that somehow that music is a white people thing.
I doubt they invented it...
@@davehughesfarm7983 look it up. Who invented Techno? Who invented House? it's a well known fact.
@@davehughesfarm7983Donna Summer’s hit in 79 “I feel Love” was one of the first techno songs. Stop being competitive with people you think less of. 😅
Why does race matter when at the heart of it humans are pure consciousness? It just seems like such a low level of consciousness to even think about race.
It's the complete opposite. Celebration of diversity and inclusivity of a different culture is a higher level of consciousness. Yes African American culture exists.@@mattjarvie6443
Also, many of us black people do not want to go to places like that due to imposter syndrome. I hate being the only black person at events like this. We as black people tend to stay in the box too much.
Thank you so much for doing this. I have always wanted to attend Burning Man. It was nice seeing perspectives from other black people who attend.
Absolutely! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Thanks for being here.
This is a beautiful video I’ve been wanting to go to burning man and this video and “the picture” answered a lot of my questions.. I would love to experience this
Beautiful! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Thanks for watching
Another great piece! Thank you for this!
Absolutely! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
First time going this year and it’s been a great question of mine. So glad you’re putting this out there! Hope to see you on the Playa!
😊✌🏾🪷✨
Hope u had a fulfilling time! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
It definitely was beyond my imagination. 💗 I went through not every, but most emotions, a human may contain. Learned to survive truly, learned to trust and leaned deeper into my gratitude for what the playa/universe provides. 🪷 Hoping that the ending of disregard to the playa from some burners doesn’t ruin the opportunity of next year’s or all future Burning Man events. 🙏🏾✨
I can’t wait to see this.. I’m manifesting to go to Burning Man in the future
And I bet the burners are manifesting that you go to them as well.
Loved hearing this perspective and insight! beautiful video
Thanks Kaitlyn! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Omwww I hope you guys are there this year 😅🥹
For the first time, I won't be ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ But others seen here absolutely will!
@@Chrysantilus had the best first burn I could ever imagine!! Only had 1 dust storm 😭 so glad I went!!
This was beautiful
Much appreciated! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Lol I spotted my camp mates at 10:02
SOLID!
@@BrosephSwaggerman SOLID!✊🏽
Love that! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Had a change of plans and couldn’t go this year. 😢 But next year…. I’m manifesting being on the Playa. 🙏🏾🤩💫
Check out regional burns near where you live as well! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
this is coming from the perspective of burners. It would be interesting to ask non burners why they dont burn
Awesome Awesome Awesome. First 3 min in❤🔥🎅🏿
Thank you! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I see alot of people from other countries make youtube videos of BM. I heard it's the rich man's party
It's a mix of everyone ~ from CEO's to low income artists like myself.
BIPOC Burners are also underrepresented in coverage.
When I heard about the rain first thing I thought was that DJ Chrysantilus mud rave gonna be lit
LoL!ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
That’s so dope it makes me really want to go now!
Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Black burning man😮
I watched this several times. To me, it represents the "Fearless, Evolutionary, Optimism" Stephen McKinley Henderson speaks to in his 2017 Juilliard Commencement Address. "Don't get it right, get it true!"
Thank you for sharing. I gotta find a way to feel the freedom in Playa!
B@BM...This is how we do it!
Much Luv
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Appreciate you
Looking forward to seeing this. I am planning to go to BM in the future and would love to know more about the experience especially as a black woman.
Please check out the "Black Rock City Living" Playlist from my channel to learn more! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
What's Renegade and how is it different from Burning Man?
Is that even a different thing?
The renegade burn happened in 2021 when there was no official event due to COVID. People self organized and created a very successful event that was free to enter. Downside, there were no porta potties! Somehow people improvised and made it work and many list it as a favorite burn.
Renegade was the year of covid and brc didn't set up main camp. People showed up to party anyway. No burning man went down that year.
I wish I could afford to experience it just once 😞 it's ridiculously expensive. This isn't your typical camping trip to a state park. I've run the numbers this way and that. Unless i win the lottery or some long lost uncle wills me some funds there's just never going to be a way for me to afford it and that kind of makes me sad because it looks like a really beautiful and special place.
For $1,200 you're good to go, food, fuel, ticket and parking pass. I only live 4hrs from BM so if you have to travel across the country that'll be a bi6 more.
It's something I definitely have to save up for ~ going with a camp can cut a lot of the costs ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
1. Anyone can go
2. Like the man said, 95% are incredibly open and welcoming. That's the rule.
3. If you're not the usual participant, you will have incredible opportunity!
Please Please come come! It's home for everyone! Thanks so much for doing this video :-)
Absolutely! Appreciate the bullet points ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
@@Chrysantilus I'm an 11 burn vet, and have done core team on large theme camps and esplanade villages. We MAKE the burn happen, you and I. :-)
I love this❤and would love to go. Never heard of this.❤
Can I ask why race matters? The human body is only a temporary experience. I see color as an illusion. I would think psychedelics would help people see this but maybe not. I would really love you to expand on this, Emily. I have been watching your videos for the last several hours and obviously I agree with a lot of what you have to say, but I just do not understand the emphasis on skin color when we are all pure consciousness.
Hey Matt! I know you wrote this in good faith, so I am not intending any shade when I say this: The only folks who are able to see color as an illusion, by and large are those who this society is created to serve. To be "Colorblind" in 2024 is akin to spiritual bypassing. When YT folks trip they may risk a tap on the wrist, when Black folks trip in public, many are putting their lives on the line (regarding the possibility of running into law enforcement especially). Until all are treated equally, this is an unequal place to have experiences like journeying and Burning Man.
In the video we explore how BIPOC people are being kept out of these spaces. That is intentional, it doesn't happen by accident or coincidentally. If an event takes place in a country where the Black population is 14% and the Black population at Burning Man is less than 1% PLUS you have Black folks sharing microaggressions & feelings of being unwelcomed ~ it's important to put our listening ears on. That's why I made this film.
The fact that we have different backgrounds and lived experiences should be *CELEBRATED* and *EMBRACED* and that's what the medicine shows me. There's nothing wrong with being different from eachother and standing in solidarity with those differences. When BIPOC folks are reminded of our skin color every day, often to our detriment, it's really hard to get to a place of saying we're all just "pure consciousness" ~ because we don't have the privilege to look past that treatment.

So until things are equal and equitable in this community, I believe an emphasis *MUST* be put on all areas of identity and humanistic relating that need improvement. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Ability & Financial accessibility are also two other BIG ones that come to mind when I think of Burning Man.
Many of us don’t have the luxury of seeing color as an illusion. As nice as not seeing it would be. When race is brought up people tend to put the burden of not seeing color on black folks. But the reality is this isn’t a scenario we created. When I was 15 I was attacked in a white neighborhood for buying comic books. When I was 16 I was falsely arrested and convicted. By the time I hit 17 I was followed in just about every store I entered, harassed by cops just sitting in front of my building. Went to college in VA had bottles thrown at me as they yelled nigger driving by. After college back in NY was put up against the wall and searched by cops at least twice a month. Still followed in stores, still denied taxi or cab rides even with my infant son strapped to my chest. The things we see and experience people think we misinterpret, we exaggerate, people undermine and tone down our experiences to make themselves feel better about society and how black folks are treated. With all I’ve experienced therapy was never an option, depression was never an option. Most non black people would have serious ptsd if they walked in my shoes growing up. But I’ve learned there’s good people & bad people in all walks of life.so I don’t judge anyone based off their color I base them off of their actions & words. But to teach my sons color isn’t a factor in this world would be setting them up for heartbreak, failure and even loss of life.
