Description
Laugh and learn in a collage of conversation with 'Chef' - Matthew 'Chef' Kwatinetz, Senior Director of Nevada Operations and Board Member of Burning Man Project. He shares with Stuart about the ongoing work to convert our Nevada properties into year-round hubs for bringing Burning Man culture into the world. So much more than an infrastructure project, our teams are busy upgrading Gerlach’s services, helping locals and staff develop skills, opening up new employment opportunities, and visioning a maker space for Black Rock City creators.They explore urban planning, tradition and what’s possible beyond our ephemeral city. They imagine what it could look like when Black Rock City spills out of its physical and temporal borders into places beyond the dry lakebed, engaging year-round with art, convenings, and teachings, and living life more secure and expressed. Much has been researched and discussed with burners and locals, from social enterprise to economics, to solar power arrays named after mythical creatures.Burning Man Project Board of Directors: Matthew ‘Chef’ KwatinetzNYU New York University Leadership Team: Matthew KwatinetzWelcome to Burner School: Gerlach Workforce Development Center (Burning Man Journal)The Chef and the Power of Community Prototyping (Burning Man Live #18)360VR: GerlachBlack Rock City Placement ProcessLAGI: Land Art Generator Initiative, Fly RanchHaunted West Gerlach (youtube)Göbekli Tepe (wikipedia)
