Episode 44 with Erin Douglas is out now! Meet Erin Douglas, the visionary creator of the Black Burner Project. The conversation traces Douglas’s evolution from a hesitant first-time attendee in 2017 to a prominent community leader who uses portraiture and storytelling to increase the visual identity and inclusion of people of color at Burning Man. Central to her story is Douglas’s transition from a career in finance to one in creative photography, a shift that culminated in her landmark 2022 installation of thirty-foot-tall sculptures on the playa. By documenting hundreds of personal stories and organizing massive word-of-mouth group photos, Douglas has successfully challenged the perception that the event is an exclusive space, ultimately fostering a diverse supportive network for future participants. Erin has taken some of the most iconic photos in the last few years and has a wonderful and inspiring story, please give it a listen.
