The Future State of the Village of Hushville
Dear Hushvillians,
Since we started, Hushville has provided countless citizens of BRC a safe, fun, and (mostly) quiet home base during that thing we do in the desert. Some of you camped with us for the first time last year, and some of you have called Hushville home for many returns.
But, did you know that a LOT goes on throughout the year (both behind the scenes and during burn week) to keep things running and provide that space so many of love?
Things are always changing. BMORG policies change. Flounder leadership changes. People's plans change. And, with all that changes, the future of Hushville as a Burning Man village is uncertain. We can no longer continue providing the space and the services that we do, without our fellow Hushvilians stepping up and making sure all those behind-the-scenes and on-the-Playa things continue to happen.
Below are some of the duties and responsibilities that need to be filled as we decide whether to continue Hushville in 2026 and beyond.
We've been through a lot together; we're a creative, resilient, and dusty bunch of burners. If you love the home we've created in the desert year after year, here's your chance to keep it going.
Take a look at the list and let us know what you are able (and willing) to do (send us an email at roles@hushville.org). Ask us any questions, we (mostly) have the answers. But, please let us know before October 31st—we need to start planning now if we're going to bring Hushville back in 2026.
