Inside the Art of Mass Gatherings

This episode of Art of Mass Gatherings Podcast pulls back the curtain on the origin story of this innovative approach to resilience-building. Co-host Bertrand Evans-Taylor sits down with Majestic Collaborations co-founder Matthew Ché Kowal for a candid conversation about how festivals, protests, and potlucks all shaped a program that blends art, safety, and social change. It’s a deep dive into the thinking behind the four pillars approach, the power of creative resilience, and why festivals are the perfect training ground for community preparedness.
