Radical Self Expression is one of the 10 principles of Burning Man that I resonate so deeply with. Fashion has lost its magic for me in many ways because of its overwhelming commercial focus, but waking up everyday and dressing however I felt reminded me what I loved about fashion to begin with. Clothes can be utilitarian but they can also be an emotional outlet and a pure expression of our identity. Just one more reason I fell in love with this experience. . #BurningMan2017 #RadicalSelfExpression . 📷: @andrewgallery Bodysuit by @sandilikeabeach for @cANYAval (at Black Rock City)

I think it's safe to say that before going to #BurningMan I had a very skewed understanding of what it was really about. Yes it's a festival of sorts, there are non stop parties, it's wild and over the top in many ways... but in its essence and at its best it can teach us what our societies could actually look like. . The Ten Principles of Burning Man represent a core structure that when heeded create a temporary existence many of us envision for our own worlds. . #RadicalInclusion #Gifting #Decommodification #RadicalSelfReliance #RadicalSelfExpression #CommunalEffort #CivicResponsibility #LeavingNoTrace #Participation #Immediacy . #BurningMan2017 (at Black Rock City)

Defiant Authenticity: The Sacred Fight for True Self-Expression

In a world that demands conformity, showing up as your true self is a radical act.

Every day I navigate spaces that weren't designed for me. I am loud in my quiet. I am firm in my soft. I refuse to shrink.

There's power in being visibly different. The fight for authenticity is relentless, necessary. Together, let's remember that this battle for existence is our most sacred truth. Keep sharing. Keep being. Keep fighting.

One of my favorite frames from #BurningMan 2019 highlights the juxtoposition of #RadicalSelfExpression and #spirituality that coalesces annually into our #temporaryAutonomousZone In many ways by stepping away from the restrictive binds established in society we all get to explore our own relations to costume and religion. Here we find outfits and spirituality both outlets of the expressive nature celebrated throughout #burner culture and as tied to the #TempleOfDirection as the written expressions that covered its walls.

Reflecting on #metamorphosis, this year's #BurningMan theme. Pictured is the finale of @FireAndIceEntertainment's stunning Tuesday night performance. The butterfly was obviously inspired by the theme, but this represented metamorphosis in another far deeper way for me. Ive seen so many people come to burning man and discover themselves . The combination of being able to choose a new identity (playa name), with radical self expression helps people explore who they want to be, without the pressure of how they were previously known. And it really speaks to me in this picture because I was actually the first person to welcome this butterfly, @foxieflambe to the Burning Man scene at a mutaytor show around 2004. Since then ive seen her follow the path of so many other friends and create an entire career out of her passions. For her, its performance. I found photography through. Ive seen others find clothing design, music, dance, art, festival creation, and so many other careers through first exploring what intrests them within their own #RadicalSelfExpression. I'm truly proud of Foxie, and so many other friends who I see successfully transitioning into their passions. The theme may seem to he referencing the recent passing of #LarryHarvey, or the changing demographic of the event itself, but I'm also happy to feel like I've seen the spirit of metamorphosis within burning man attendees since i first started going 21 years ago.

Thoroughly impressed with @wondernasty (QWN) for the 3rd fantastic #GenderFluid burlesque show. Between the costumes, hilarious (and sexy) character work, I wasnt sure whether to laugh or get turned on... so I just did both. It also reminds me a lot of the experimenations in #RadicalSelfExpression That first drew me to the #LosAngeles Burning Man scene. Definitely check out their monthly next time it comes around in July. #burlesque (at Madera Kitchen & Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRmIPUhZ8l/?igshid=la3gopvue920
