Final Meals is an ongoing community-based performance, event, and video installation. Each final meal requested by Texas death row inmates and published online by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice since 1982 is prepared, consumed, and filmed. To date, Lucky Pierre has re-created 197 of the 310 final meals published by the State of Texas.

For the presentation of this project at the c3:initiative, Lucky Pierre will screen selections from the archived final meal videos, prepare Final Meal Request #237 and host a community dinner, and present on this ongoing and expansive project.
