Desert X is a contemporary art exhibition held in the Coachella Valley of California, showcasing large-scale installations by various artists. Launched in 2017, it aims to engage with the unique desert landscape and explore themes related to the environment, culture, and social issues. The exhibition takes place every two years, attracting visitors from around the world. The artworks are often site-specific, meaning they are created to interact with the surrounding environment. Artists like Doug Aitken and Kara Walker have participated, contributing to a diverse range of artistic expressions. Desert X not only promotes art but also encourages dialogue about the desert's ecological and cultural significance.
