Launched in 2017, Desert X\u2014 an international art exhibition that traditionally takes place in Coachella Valley, California\u2014 took the art world by storm when it unveiled an iteration of its famed annual exhibit in AlUla. Since 2020, Saudi Arabia\u2019s ancient oasis city has played host to two flagship editions, set against its awe-inducing desert landscape. The third edition of Desert X AlUla is set to return in February, and this week, organizers lifted the veil on everything to know about the forthcoming event.<\/p>\n
Set to get underway from Feb. 9 to March 23, 2024, Desert X AlUla\u2019s much-anticipated return will be held in collaboration with the Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU), although this time it will be spread across three breathtaking locations: the Wadi AlFann desert, the Harrat Uwayrid biosphere reserve, as well as in the historic AlManshiyah neighborhood. Visitors and art buffs can expect a slew of local, regional, and international artists to flock to the former Nabatean hotspot to showcase their latest works, engage with industry-leading professionals and experts, all while interacting with the natural and creative heritage of the city.<\/p>\n
\u2028For the forthcoming edition, the first site-responsive exhibition of its kind in Saudi Arabia will be curated by Athr Gallery\u2019s former founding director Maya El Khalil hand-in-hand with award-winning Brazilian curator Marcello Dantas, who is known for his innovative interdisciplinary practices linking science, history, and technology, alongside Saudi cultural advisor Raneem Farsi and British art expert Neville Wakefield who will serve as creative directors.<\/p>\n
