New Millennium Writings | Vol. 27 | 2018
THE "IT'S A RAD, RAD WORLD" ISSUE
Radical Inclusion, Radical Self-Reliance, and Radical Self-Expression are just three of the "10 Principles of Burning Man," written by Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey in 2004 "as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture." Larry passed away in 2018, at the age of 70. The 27th anthology has been dedicated to him and his legacy.
