Since 2001, the Office of International Affairs at Texas Tech University has curated this premiere juried photographic exhibition of peoples and places of the world's dry lands. The High and Dry Photography Exhibit has attracted hundreds of artists from across the United States and around the world, all of whom have been asked to respond to some aspect of life in an arid or a semiarid region. Images have been shot in regions as remote and exotic as Chile, Morocco, and Iran, and as near and familiar as Caprock Canyon. It is our hope that these images will inspire aesthetic appreciation, but also elicit reflection upon the realities of life on our increasingly thirsty planet.
JUROR: Robin Dru Germany – Interim Director and Professor of Photography at the Texas Tech University School of Art
