Thinking Big in a Small Town

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.
