“Break Your Frame”
We are looking to explore the framing effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_% ... ciences%29 and how it affects the ways we perceive, think about, and communicate about reality. We want to help spotlight the literal (and metaphorical) interpretations of frames and how it changes our perceptions of art, as well as the basic understanding that how we phrase things changes our decision making.Please take a moment and show us how you "Break Your Frame" in and out of your field and share it with us on the playa!
Structure of Our Talks:
Talks generally range in length from 10-30 minutes.
There is a moderated Q&A that follows every talk ranging in time from 5-25 minutes depending on the submission, the time slot, and the audience engagement level. This is where the moderator and the audience can question the presenter on their assumptions and thesis.
All submissions and topics are welcome, as long as general Burning Man ethos and values are upheld i.e. no promotions of products, corporations, political candidates, or rigid partisanship.
We are looking for speakers and talks, not workshops.
We are looking for fully structured talks that reveal and explore the nature of the topic submitted. Research, whether academic or experiential is welcomed and appreciated.
We are a family friendly venue until dark, and we have no speaker slots after dark this year, though that doesn't mean that we will not accept talks on 'racy' or more 'adult' subjects... it's just something to consider in the framing of your submission and talk.
Talks that incorporate this year's event theme (Radical Ritual), or Speaker Series theme (Break Your Frame) will be given scheduling priority.
