Curated by Artistic Director Neville Wakefield and Co-curator Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, Desert X 2025 reflects on the desert’s deep time evolutions, revealing a profound reverence for the enduring spirit of this harsh yet resilient region that challenges us to glean wisdom from its vast knowledge.
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.
Their mission is to create and present international contemporary art exhibitions that engage with desert environments through site-specific installations by acclaimed artist from around the world.
