Actors involved

Black Rock City centers around some core principals in response to bigger global issues such as radical inclusion, gifting, decomodification, self reliance, self expression, communal effort, civic responsability, leaving no trace, participation and immediacy. The goal of having them is to create an utopia within the festival thinking globally acting localy.By having these principals it creates a sense of community and responsability towards it building trust and respecting the event giving it importance. The value of it comes form the sense of belonging of each person attending the festival making it significant for them. Specially since black rock centers around the user and the main purpose is not to make it profitable but to create a positive experience for all. Overall the concept of it all fits the criteria but the execution of it still needs work for it to be coherent between what they want to achive and what it is currently.
