About this episode
This episode we talk with Tia Coleman, a long-term Burning Man participant and leader who has served as a Regional Contact for Las Vegas since 2004. The conversation traces Coleman’s history with the event from her first trip in 1998, exploring how her background in theater and the arts drew her to the desert for authentic self-expression. As a member of the Meta Regional Committee, she explains her dedication to global community building, conflict resolution, and fostering accurate information to protect the culture’s reputation. The dialogue also features a nostalgic comparison of the festival’s evolution, noting shifts in technology, demographics, and social habits over the decades. Ultimately, Coleman emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion, inviting underrepresented groups to claim their space within the "burnoverse" and utilize the event as a catalyst for creative transformation.
