About Desert X

The Desert X 2021 exhibition explores the desert as both a place and idea, acknowledging the realities of people who reside in the Coachella Valley and the political, social, and cultural contexts that shape their stories.

Curated by César García-Alvarez and Neville Wakefield, Desert X is among the first art experiences in the region since widespread lockdowns to offer a safe, outdoor experience that is free and open to all. The exhibition includes newly commissioned works that collectively pose urgent questions about our pasts while imagining the possibilities of a shared future. Experience Desert X in the Coachella Valley March 12 - May 16. Learn more at [desertx.org] (https://desertx.org/)
