For centuries, outside observers applied this same stereotype to the Sonoran Desert, viewing it as a hostile, barren wasteland. This presentation challenges that widespread misconception. By exploring the Sonoran Desert through the eyes of its original stewards, including the Tohono O\u0027odham and Akimel O\u2019odham, we discover that this arid landscape is not only the most biodiverse desert in the world, but also one of the most nutritionally dense, resilient ecosystems on Earth. \u0022Rooted in Tradition\u0022 bridges Indigenous Peoples\u2019 wisdom with nutritional science to reveal how desert flora can shape the future of health, climate adaptation and community wellness.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis event is part of the Native Plants of the Americas symposium on October 8.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.
