The second edition of Desert X AlUla, under the curatorial vision of Reem Fadda, Raneem Farsi and Neville Wakefield, featured newly commissioned works from Saudi and international artists. Under the theme of Sarab, the exhibition explored ideas of mirage and oasis, both intrinsic to desert history and culture, that have taken on complex worldwide significance over time. This art in the landscape experience was accompanied by a dynamic programme of performance, workshops, family events and school visits.
