Underwater NY Governors Island Un-Earthed

Governors Island Un-Earthed, Underwater New York

Excited to be a part of Governors Island Un-Earthed, Underwater New York’s Issue Number 16. My contribution People of the Desert 122°F meditates on the past and future of the miles of canals that thread through Phoenix and Tucson, AZ. The largest pre-Columbian irrigation system in North America, the canals were first engineered 2000 years ago by the ancestral Sonoran Desert people. This Native history was destroyed by the construction of the settler-colonial metropolis. Now an urban space of asphalt and concrete, this valley is ill-prepared for the heat of the near future. The summer now reaches 122°F. At 130°, what happens to the city’s vulnerable people, plants, and animals? Adaptation or abandonment?

My video, People of the Desert 122° F, in the Works on Water project space, Governors Island July 2019

People of the Desert 122° F

My new video, People of the Desert 122° F, is on exhibit July 1-31 in the Project Space at the WoW House 5B on Governors Island curated by Works on Water and Underwater New York. The work is a meditation on the past and future of Phoenix, AZ: here the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People constructed the largest Pre-Columbia irrigation system in North America, history obliterated by the colonial construction that became contemporary city. Now over 150 people die each summer from heat-related trauma, and with a record high of 122° F what happens at 129° – adaptation or abandonment?
