Principles
Nowhere is built on the following key principles, inspired by Burning Man:
- Self-expression
The freedom to be in a creative and liberating space.
- Radical self-reliance
You are responsible for yourself.
- No commerce
Bring all you need because you can’t buy it there.
- Leave no trace
Create something from nothing, and leave nothing behind. (This means you take all your trash back with you, there are no trash bins or recycling.)
- Participation
Get involved – this is not an event for spectators.

Famous quotes containing the word principles:
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry; for a new house or a larger business; for a political party, or the division of an estate;Mwill you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To abandon oneself to principles is really to die—and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
