New theme for Burning Man 2014 is Caravansary. A combination of “caravan” and “sara” (palace or buildings with closed courts). Inn or resting place for weary travelers along the Silk Road.
Caravansary. According to Jack Rabbit Says (JRS) – The new theme for Burning Man this year will be caravansary.
For countless centuries, travelers along the Silk Route crossed paths in caravansaries, a network of oases and sanctuaries that dotted the 4,000-mile road from Europe to East Asia. These bustling caravan stops offered more than just shelter from the desert wilderness; they were vital centers of cultural exchange, bringing together traders, pilgrims, monks, nomads, traveling entertainers, and wild-eyed adventurers from all points of the compass to share their stories around a common fire.
