Build, Burn, Repeat.

Jul 14, 2025

You might know him from that time you got lost inside a sculpture the size of a small town, or maybe you’ve shared a hammer or a Do-Bro with him on-site. Either way, Hippathy Valentine has been making magic in our wider burner community for years, and now he’s taken that story to the airwaves.

Hippathy sat down with Radio New Zealand to talk about his journey from discovering Kiwiburn back in 2007 to helping build the Temple of Transition at Burning Man, a six-building, 120-foot-tall structure that stood proud in the dust before being sent off in flames.

It’s always something special when one of our own shares the deeper meaning of what we do with the default world. Have a listen, and celebrate the mahi, the madness, and the message.
