Desert Rider<\/a><\/strong> explores the sociopolitical realities<\/strong> and imaginative interpretations of automotive and skateboarding subcultures<\/strong> through diverse works by local Arizona and regional artists, focusing almost exclusively on Latinx and Indigenous perspectives<\/strong> that have defined the identity of the Southwest.<\/p>\n

Desert Rider is an exhibition inspired by modes of transportation in the Southwest that invite both reflection and introspection of our collective cultural imagination.<\/strong> While post-war culture of the 1950s<\/strong> has mythologized our dependence on and fascination with the automobile<\/strong>, this exhibition connects more closely to the counter culture developments of the 1960s<\/strong> epitomized in the Easy Rider phenomenon<\/strong> that occurred simultaneously with various civil unrest movements. Images of customized vehicles roaring through the wide-open landscapes of the American Southwest captured notions not only of freedom and liberty, but also rebellion and nonconformity.<\/p>\n
