Wrapped in beautiful terracotta pots that store water to keep the atmosphere around the building cool, “After the Monsoon” looks to bring resilient and water-conscious solutions to Indigenous communities in an era of worsening conditions due to climate change. With the primary function and program as a Water Resilience Lab, the center will also include an extensive archive and community exhibitions on the Tohono O’odham and the Santa Cruz river, which runs through the site.
