Kind of been wondering about this, the Burning Man event seems to attract a lot of leftists, but attracts my interest as it seems to also attract artists and artistic expression, maybe a kind of environmentalism, I don’t know. Their main celebration seems to have been a repackaging of the pagan event of burning a wicker man, they burn a big effigy to end the event.
It’s kind of ambiguous about being pagan or nonreligious or whatever but I think there are probably plenty of objectionable things that take place that “conservatives” or “Christians” might want to steer clear of. But, I think possibly there are good things that might be adapted in to some alternative new event or incorporated in to existing events.
Any idea about “Christian conservative” alternatives to Burning Man?
Conservativism and religion are antithetical to art and free expression. They only breed conformity. You’re never going to find a gathering of conservative hippies and artists.
Have you considered that your beliefs and interests don’t align with modern “christian conservatism”?
Well I think MOB who responded to you started to get at the point, but there’s definitely a history of Christian artistry… I would bring up Salvador Dali as a modern example who comes to mind (he converted to Catholicism)
The only limit on “free” expression was Christians ought not sin in creating art
I do think you have a point to make, that sometimes conservatism and art haven’t mixed, but this is probably more of specific kinds of “conservatives” (who are often supportive at least of religious artwork oftentimes).
Regarding “modern conservative Christian” culture, it really has attracted a lot of the (classical) liberals today so there is a lot of a culture of freedom with artists, perhaps more so than with the political left. I mean for example on the fediverse here, it was other instances defederating with our instance here to prevent “free expression”, not the other way around.
I think you certainly make the point that Christians have a long history of artistic expression; the only limit has been sin, Christians weren’t supposed to make sinful art pieces
