With Rapture & Astonishment: A Virtual Reception & Artist Talk
Join us via Zoom Wednesday, August 16th, at 7 pm EDT
Join us for a virtual reception with the artists and curators of the newest iteration of the With Rapture and Astonishment exhibition currently on view at the Circle Gallery at University of Georgia. Together we will be exploring how exhibitions can be shaped and reshaped to meet the needs of changing spaces, audiences, and communities.
This dynamic exhibition shares the visual experiences of twelve artists as they traveled in Bartram’s footsteps. Each artist worked in the spirit of curiosity, exploration, and wonder while reimagining this well-traveled landscape. Featuring images from coastal Georgia to North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, With Rapture & Astonishment invites viewers to enter an intimate world where the landscape is alive and waiting to be met and listened to anew.
Many of the photographers in this exhibition drew inspiration from the place-based traditions of diverse indigenous peoples, including The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, who have stewarded the land for millennia and who freely shared their plant knowledge and wisdom with William Bartram.
Featured artists include:
