C.Maxx Stevens is an Installation artist and Seminole/Mvskoke Nation from the Oklahoma Region.

Ecologies of Resistance illustrates the artistic process of the DesertArt LAB collaborative’s site-specific ecological installation in the high desert of southern Colorado, through the use of artifacts, archival materials, and botanical samples.  April Bojorquez has worked in the museum field nationally/internationally as an educator, curator, and researcher.

Matt Garcia’s artistic practice investigates ecology, its relationship to knowledge systems and how media can connect communities to a reclaiming or re-imagining of lost epistemology.

Garcia was formerly an assistant professor of Digital/Experimental Media in the Department of Art at Kansas State University.
