G.H.O.S.T. Ride / (Generative Habitation Operating System Technology) by Cannupa Hanska Luger, PANORAMA, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Cannupa Hanska Luger’s multidisciplinary practice blends bold visual storytelling with an Indigenous worldview, reframing our understanding of collective humanity.
