Burning Man recently hosted a panel discussion on innovative uses of urban space, from temporary parklets and community gardens to maker spaces and pop-up art. If you’re interested in activating your own city in radical ways that don’t necessarily rely on city bureaucracy and established processes, there’s a lot to learn from these folks.
Moderated by Blaine Merker of Gehl Studio and REBAR, with panelists Marc Roth of Learning Shelter and TechShop, Jake Levitas of the Urban Prototyping Festival, Jessica Hobbs of Flux Foundation, and Jay Rosenberg of 49 Farms and Hayes Valley Farm, this event was recorded at Burning Man headquarters in San Francisco in December 2014.
I’m very interested in this. I’d like to activate my city in radical ways. Can you please let me know what the application process is? Who at Burning Man do I need to contact, and please let me know the fee.

How much does it cost? Do I need to submit a letter of intent?

This is just one of many guerrilla installations we have done around our city.

“it” – participation. How much does it cost to participate. I’m a Burner, and I only participate in Burning Man related events. I don’t trust the default world. So how much does it cost to do this stuff? Who do I pay at Burning Man?

Really inspiring. Thanks for sharing this. Here in Taos, we aren’t a city, but doing simple acts of ‘rural’ interventions here in Northner New Mexcio with The Paseo…an outdoor art festival. (www.paseotaos.org). I hope to have a chance to get more inspired at this year’s burn…would be great to have another type of discussion/meet/share on the playa? Thanks again, M
