‘Desert X’ announces fourth exhibition and featured artists
Desert X is returning to the Coachella Valley with its fourth edition of the site-specific, international exhibit.
It's opening day is set for March 4 and the event will run through May 7, 2023.
Eleven artists will participate and create exhibits throughout the Coachella Valley. Some are based in California, while others are traveling from different countries to bring their artwork to the valley.
You can expect to see a variety of exhibits featuring different mediums including: poetry, sculptures, painting, writing, architecture, design, film, music, choreography, education, and environmental activism.
All of the pieces will align with the theme of this year's exhibition.
"The exhibition examines social and environmental themes with a focus on the changes that give form to a world increasingly shaped by climate crisis, globalism, and the political and economic migrations that follow in their wake."
