UPDATE: Revisiting Armando Lerma’s Desert X Mural

After receiving viewer feedback of our Desert X mural interpretation, Thalia Hayden and Digi Dave take a step back to engage directly with the artist, Armando Lerma. In this conversation, Lerma shares the inspiration behind La Fiesta en el Desierto, a mural reflecting his upbringing in Coachella and the cultural significance of folk art. By going straight to the source, they aim to bridge gaps, foster dialogue, and honor the true meaning behind the artwork.
