Passing Through, Settling In: Contemporary Photographs of the Desert consisted of perspectives on the environmental complexity, politically charged history, and cultural diversity of the desert Southwest. Each photographer took a close and critical look at recent developments here, including rapid and perhaps unsustainable population growth, drilling for gas and oil, failed building projects, tourism and its drawbacks, limited rainfall and water, the ruined locales of what has become the mythic Wild West, and the human connection to the land.
