Beginning in January 2023, the photographers featured in this exhibition were invited to explore and reflect upon 112-miles of the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail. Listening to the Land features photography and photo-based installations by thirty-two artists and celebrates this region’s rich biodiversity while honoring each person’s unique and emergent relationship with the land.
Drawing inspiration from the trail itself, photographers were invited to enter an intimate world where the landscape was alive and waiting to be met, understood, and listened to. Together these artists contemplated their own wild origins while visually reimagining a time when humans moved in respect, harmony, and cocreative kinship with the natural world.
A free public reception will be held Thursday, October 5 at 5pm at The Bascom to celebrate our fall exhibitions.
