Desert X 2025 returns to Coachella Valley, presenting thought-provoking installations from 11 international artists that engage themes of resilience, displacement, and the interrelation of natural and human histories. Curated by Neville Wakefield and Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, the exhibition emphasizes Indigenous futurism and design activism, using the desert landscape as a collaborator. Notable works include Sanford Biggers' sequin sculptures reflecting cultural narratives, Agnes Denes' ecological pyramid suggesting growth and renewal, and Sarah Meyoha's reflective installation that manipulates light and perception, underscoring the dialogue between art, time, and the environment.
"Desert X 2025 continues the mission of merging contemporary art with the vast landscape of Southern California through creativity and thoughtful installations by international artists."
"This year's edition highlights resilience, displacement, and the intertwining of natural and human histories, showcasing how art responds to its environment."
