PINKY SHOW cats : Profiles

The PINKY SHOW is the original super lo-tech radical metaeducational art project by cats. We focus on information & ideas that have been misrepresented, suppressed, ignored, or otherwise excluded from mainstream discussion, and try to do it in a way that’s informal and easy-to-understand. We live in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, near Death Valley.

"Our mission is to create work that cultivates openness, compassion, and healing through a deeper understanding of how the world works."
