A confirmation of the festival’s return to Black Rock City.
Burning Man has finally announced the theme for its 2022 edition as ‘Waking Dreams’, a notion that will ‘explore the transformative power of dreams, both literal and figurative, and celebrate the dreamers who channel this potent energy in eye-opening, often surrealistic, sometimes life-changing ways’.
The announcement was made via a journal post by Stuart Magnum, director of the Philosophical Center of Burning Man Project, in which he dives deep inside the dreams and surrealism that have a role in the festival’s experience. It is unknown yet how the theme will play out during the next edition of Burning Man.
While the exact dates for the Burning Man festival are still under wraps, organizers have told attendees and supporters to ‘get ready for 2022’, as the event is set to make a highly anticipated return to Black Rock City.
After a long hazy blur of pandemic insomnia, unanchored in time and adrift between sleeping and waking, it’s time to start imagining the future again. And with exactly that in mind, we’re excited to reveal this year’s Burning Man theme: “Waking Dreams.” ✨https://t.co/oBfh1vKQR7
