With Rapture & Astonishment: Gallery Livestream & Artist Talk
Join us for this online event January, 4th @ 7 PM ET via Zoom
This online event features a video walkthrough of the With Rapture & Astonishment exhibition, conversations with the artists, and an overview of the Listening to the Land project.
Listening to the Land is a nine-month community celebration of the Bartram Trail, that launched on December 15th with the project-shaping exhibition With Rapture & Astonishment. Inspired by a quote from American artist, botanist, and ethnographer William Bartram, this exhibition reflects the visual experiences that the eleven artists in this exhibition discovered and felt as they walked in Bartram’s footsteps over a twelve-week period. Invited to photograph the same five-mile section of the trail, each artist worked in the spirit of Bartram to cultivate curiosity, humility, and wonder while re-imagining this ancient and well-traveled landscape. This project-shaping exhibition invites viewers to enter an intimate world where landscape images are revealed not as objects to be admired but as intimate portraits of an alive place waiting to be met and listened to.
Featured artists include:
Learn more about how you can join the Kinship Photography Collective in creating a community archive of the Bartram Trail that celebrates its rich biodiversity while honoring each person’s unique way of seeing and responding to the land. Participants will have the opportunity to have their work juried into an exhibition at The Bascom in September 2023.
This program is offered in partnership with The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts and the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy.
