Curated by Desert X Artistic Director Neville Wakefield and Co-curator Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas.

The exhibition reflects on the desert’s deep time evolutions reframing ideas and wilderness and exploring themes of Indigenous futurism, design activism, colonial power asymmetries, the impress of humanity on the land and the role of emerging technologies in our contemporary society.
