Farmer the Rigger is a giant Afro-eccentric magical entity made of weathered steel, supported by his hands that he uses to traverse the playa when it is dusty enough to do so undetected. Farmer the Rigger is a monument to the working class, skilled laborers, and the culmination of hours spent mastering one's craft. Farmer the Rigger is a guardian, watching over this safe space we collectively create for all beings especially people of color to express them selves freely and to be celebrated for doing so.
