Desert Futures is a long term research and design project aims to spatialize and make visible the tensions between political systems and natural ecologies, as well as human attempts to colonize and commodify the desert by dividing, fortifying, mining, extracting, militarizing, polluting, and foresting it. The first case study for this project is the desert in the south of present-day Israel, called the Naqab in Arabic and the Negev in Hebrew.
