“American
Dream” is the official art theme for
Burning Man 2008. It’s about
patriotism. It’s about dreams for America.
Almost 80 percent of those polled on
ePlaya think this theme is lame. It’s
seen as divisive, exclusive, political, and just not that much
fun.
What we need is a populist uprising. A revolt! A REVOLUTION!!
Let’s replace the theme with something really fun:
Now that’s a theme we can really get behind! Art
tractors, barns, farm animals, cowgirls and cowboys, straw hats
and overalls. Yeeehaaw!!! It’ll be a hootenanny rodeo on the
playa and y’all can make it happen. Post your Down-on-the-Farm
theme camps, playa art installations, and ideas at the
BARNingman.com website (when
we get it fully set up).
BARNers unite! The Down on the Farm Revolution is beginning now!
