Join us for a talk with Dr. Daisy Atterbury exploring how artists and writers of the U.S. Southwest have re-envisioned the radioactive desert as a site of intimacy and relationality. Desert Futures reimagines the nuclear landscapes as a space where the realities of material toxicity must meet radical possibility.

A just future for the desert requires a socionatural dynamic that is resilient and relational, non-exclusionary and non-extractive, a practice which Indigenous scholars and activists are already leading. (Samia Henni)
