Neville Wakefield, Artistic Director of Desert X, and co-curators Raneem Farsi and Aya Alireza discuss Desert X AlUla, and what it means both artistically and culturally to bring the site-specific art exhibition to the extraordinary, historic site that was once home to the Nabataeans. For Saudis Farsi and Alireza, the exhibition arrives at a moment of change in their country, for women, for young people and for artists. “It's a first in Saudi Arabia. It's the first time to have a site-responsive exhibition,” says Alireza with delight.
