A powerful, new art movement is happening and it’s rooted in a radically inclusive, interactive experience unlike any other – Burning Man! Jennifer Raiser, who has gone to Burning Man for 18 years and written a book about it, takes us on a visual tour of the magic that happens when people harness their creative powers to build new artistic and community experiences that lie beyond the imagination. If you’ve not yet made the trip to the Nevada desert for the annual event, this is your chance to get a taste of “the most spectacular, outlandish, provocative art exhibit in the world.” Jennifer Raiser is a writer, management innovator, non-profit advisor, Burning Man Project board member and Treasurer and author of the best selling Burning Man: Art on Fire. She’s also written In the Spirit of Napa Valley, The Art of Being Bill Murray, Designing Retirement Communities for the Future and numerous articles for the San Francisco Chronicle, Huffington Post, and other publications. Jennifer works in corporate communications for clients in the healthcare and food tech sectors. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
