Despite the undeniable presence of human and non-human lives and forces in desert territories, the \"regime of emptiness\" has inhabited, and is still inhabiting, many imaginaries. \u003cem\u003eDeserts Are Not Empty\u003c\/em\u003e challenges this colonial tendency, questions its roots and ramifications, and remaps the representations, theories, histories, and stories of arid lands—which comprise approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume brings together poems in original languages, conversations with collectives, and essays by scholars and professionals from the fields of architecture, architectural history and theory, curatorial studies, comparative literature, film studies, landscape architecture, and photography. These different approaches and diverse voices draw on a framework of decoloniality to unsettle and unlearn the desert, opening up possibilities to see, think, and imagine it otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith contributions from Saphiya Abu Al-Maati, Menna Agha, Asaiel Al Saeed, Aseel AlYaqoub, Yousef Awaad Hussein, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Danika Cooper, Brahim El Guabli, Timothy Hyde, Jill Jarvis, Bongani Kona, Dalal Musaed Alsayer, Observatoire des armements, Francisco E.
