This culture started in dust and ephemerality. We build metropolises of art and fire, then we leave no trace. How do we translate that inspiration into a rhythm for everyday life? What happens when a temporary autonomous zone puts down roots?

The Borderland is Scandinavia's largest and longest running Burning Man Regional event. It’s "working out loud" culture fosters radical trust, allowing the community to create its own world where no one is in charge.

The community also crowd-funded land that serves as the permanent home for their Regional event, and year-round collaborations of all kinds.

How does the Borderland commit to the risk and reward of community buy-in?

How does trusting that someone will have the answer lead to resiliency?

How do the 10 Principles balance aspects of Scandinavian culture differently than US culture?

Hear Andie set it up, then Stuart talk with Liselotte Norman and Hampus Lindblad.

Hear about the act of letting go to stay together.
