Gibrán's Podcast

How do you make art for the temple? How do you make art for a temple that is itself a work of art, in a city that is defined by the awe that is its art? A temple that will hold hope and will hold grief. A temple at the heart of a place where people seek to wake up and get free. A place of pilgrimage. That you know is doomed to burn. I met JWo about 5 years ago. We worked together during my long partnership with BALLE (the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies), now Common Future. Our relationship has only deepened over the years. And this year we saw each other at Burning Man. But JWo was not just another participant in the impossible experiment that is life in Black Rock City. She was there as part of the Temple Crew. And the art that she had made was the very centerpiece of this year’s temple. I jumped at the opportunity to interview her, and give you a chance to get to know her. Take a listen!
