Join Luna Arcana's Rohini Walker for an insightful conversation with Kim Stringfellow, one of the Mojave high desert's beloved luminaries.

Kim is an artist, educator, writer and independent curator based in Joshua Tree, CA. Her work bridges cultural geography, public practice and experimental documentary into creative, socially engaged transmedia experiences. She is a 2016 Andy Warhol for the Visual Arts Curatorial Fellow and a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow in Photography. She was awarded an honorary doctorate from Claremont Graduate University in 2018. Stringfellow is a Professor Emeritus at San Diego State University’s School of Art + Design.

In this conversation, we talk about Kim's celebrated The Mojave Project, from which Luna Arcana has featured a dispatch for each of its issues to date. As well, we talk about Kim's current work focusing on the nuanced topic of how renewable energy and mining to create it will dramatically alter the Desert West.
