Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail

Listening to the Land:
Reimagining the Bartram Trail

Listening to the Land is a visual exploration of the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail that features the photography of thirty-two artists. The photographs featured in this resonant and varied exhibition celebrate the region's rich biodiversity while honoring each person’s unique relationship with the land.

Drawing inspiration from Bartram’s Travels and the enduring wisdom of land-based and indigenous peoples of this region, photographers entered an intimate world where the landscape was alive and waiting to be met, understood, and listened to. This exhibition invites you to contemplate your own wild origins while visually reimagining a time when humans moved in respect, harmony, and co-creative kinship with the natural world.
