AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo was LIVE in the Coachella Valley of Southern California to be the among the first to experience Desert X 2021. The third edition of the outdoor art exhibition is now on display through May 16, 2021. From the organizers: “The Desert X 2021 exhibition will explore the desert as both a place and idea, acknowledging the realities of people who reside here and the political, social, and cultural contexts that shape their stories. Among the first art experiences in the region since widespread lockdowns to offer a safe, outdoor experience that is free and open to all, Desert X will include newly commissioned works that collectively pose urgent questions about our pasts while imagining the possibilities of a shared future.”
