Every year for thirty years tens of thousands of people go to the Black Rock desert in Nevada to set up Black Rock City for a festival of art, music, and freedom. It’s hot with frequent dust storms but 70,000 went this year and set up camp and art. At the end of the celebration they will burn a large symbol of a man. Hence the name of the festival. In a week all of it will disappear without a trace.
