About

Bless My Meat is a swine shrine that stands in deep playa beneath a celestial arc of throbbing pink LEDs. Exhalted upon a pink pedestal is Pinky, a crocheted pig with red cat eyes, shark teeth, and pointed witchy shoes. Across from her, a small altar bears the phrase "Present Your Meat for Blessing." A button on the altar sounds different "meat blessings," all created and recorded by fellow Burners. The installation blends ritual with absurdity and transforms a stuffed porker into a plush prophet. Through humor, sound, and light, Pinky explores the sacred and the profane by celebrating our individual interpretations of "meat" and the irreverent yet transcendent communal spirit of Black Rock City.
