The presentation will provide an overview of Desert Initiative, a regional and global collaboration connecting desert communities through artist-led research and projects that investigate pressing critical issues of our time and place as contemporary societies in urbanizing desert environments.
The presentation will examine the potential for collaboration between artists, scientists and other researchers to drive innovation, shift cultural behaviors, communicate ideas and find solutions to challenges. Through a series of collaborative, artist-driven projects, Desert Initiative is developing a new post-disciplinary framework to forge new pathways into a more resilient future and cultivating ecologies of change.
