Resilient Do-Ocracy: Tales of Texas Burners


Listen Later

Black Rock City. We sometimes call it an unnatural disaster zone. We cooperate, survive and thrive in one of the harshest environments. Each year we iterate new ways, and we do it all because we want to. 

Black Rock City attracts people who are resourceful, or it turns them into people who are. 

The resilient burner community does disaster relief well. The nature of most residents of Black Rock City is reflected right there in the 10 principles: Radical Self-Reliance, Communal Effort and Civic Responsibility.

Here in the US, the State of Texas is home to Flipside, the first and longest-running Burning Man Regional Event. Texas froze in February. Very unusual. A series of devastating winter storms collapsed the power grid and the water system. The burners of Austin Texas were some of the first to respond with mutual aid in their community. 

In this episode Kate Ludlow, Stephanie Vyborny and Clovis Buford share their stories of resourcefulness and support, and a Frito Pie party amid the chaos!
