Desert X AlUla is organised collaboratively by Desert X and the Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU). It is the first site-responsive exhibition of its kind in Saudi Arabia, taking place in the desert of AlUla, an ancient oasis home to the country’s first UNESCO world heritage site. An exploration of desert culture, the exhibition brings together a plurality of voices, with fourteen artists from eight countries and two local co-curators - Raneem Farsi and Aya Alireza - working together with Desert X Artistic Director Neville Wakefield.
