BURN BRILLIANTLY: Art Exhibition
The Burn Brilliantly art exhibition aims to capture in digital art form a sense of the numinous that we feel when we contemplate the vastness of the cosmos and juxtapose it with the sense of awe and wonder Burners feel when they’re out on the playa at Black Rock City.
FILM SCREENING: Solyaris (1972)
A special screening of the exquisite, engrossing, metaphysical psycho-drama, Sci-fi masterpiece, and profound existential Russian classic from 1972: Solaris.
