Desert X | Interview with Diana Campbell

"DC: Thinking about flows of resources and tenacity and storytelling, I have been very inspired by the work of Temalpakh Farm in Coachella. In a similar way that I am interested in water cycles, I am interested in how resources flow from the Augustine Tribe’s casino into an organic farm aimed to promote sustainable lifestyles in the Coachella Valley. Healthy eating can be prohibitively expensive, and I am moved by how this initiative has an educational remit to revive and activate indigenous farming technologies and knowledges found in food culture to nourish the community today. This is just one of the many initiatives in the desert that speaks to how creativity can open up new possibilities for more fulfilling ways of living."
