"Tales From the Land," a 30th-anniversary exhibition located at the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve, features a sensory station, digital displays, augmented reality, photographs, and a memory wall. These elements will create a fully immersive experience highlighting the profound relationship between humans and the land. The exhibition focuses on two central themes: community and land, emphasizing how the land acts as a catalyst for community building. The exhibition’s narrative will be told from multiple perspectives and incorporate a photo-novella style, allowing guests to journey through 5,000 years of history. As visitors move through time, they will gain insight into the intricate connections between each community and the land on which DVPP is located.
