The College of Liberal Arts presents the University Forum Lecture Burning Man: A Temporary and Enduring Home a discussion by Deborah A. Boehm, assistant professor and Carolyn L. White, associate professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Reno
For a week each summer, approximately 50,000 people flock to Black Rock City, Nevada, to participate in Burning Man, an arts and self-expression festival. The city is purpose-built each year and is dismantled immediately following the event, returning the playa to its vast emptiness. Through a multi-media presentation, Deborah A. Boehm (cultural anthropologist) and Carolyn L. White (archaeologist) will examine the city, its inhabitants, and the community of Burning Man, which they have studied since 2008.
This event is free and open to the public.
