DESERT RATS
Urban Dictionary defines the phrase ‘Desert Rat’ as a term of endearment that refers to
someone “born, raised, or who has spent most of their life in the desert and is proud of
where they come from because of the beauty it holds.” The artists in this exhibition are
students at Borrego High School who have been asked to create an artwork that
represents their experience of living in Borrego Springs.
Urban Dictionary define 'Rata del Desierto' como un término cariñoso que se refiere a
alguien "nacido, criado o que ha pasado la mayor parte de su vida en el desierto y está
orgulloso de su lugar de origen debido a la belleza que tiene." Los artistas de esta exposición
son estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Borrego a quienes se les ha pedido que creen una
obra de arte que represente su experiencia de vivir en Borrego Springs.
