“High and Dry XXII: A Photographic Exhibition of Peoples and Places of the World's Dry Lands”

On Display through February 2023 – Gallery and Virtual Exhibit 

 

Since 2000, International Affairs at Texas Tech University has curated the premiere juried photographic exhibition of peoples and places of the world's dry lands.  The High and Dry Exhibition has attracted hundreds of artists from across the nation, all of whom were asked to respond to some aspect of life in an arid or a semi-arid region. Subjects range from sand dunes in the Sahara Desert to ghost towns in Terlingua, Texas. It is our hope that these images will not only prompt aesthetic appreciation but also elicit reflection upon the realities of life on our increasingly thirsty planet.

Juror: Peter Poulides
