Reimagine Bartram’s travels

Reimagine Bartram’s travels

A visual exploration of the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail will be on display through Jan. 6, 2024, at The Bascom in Highlands. 

“Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail”  features photography and photo-based installations by 32 artists, celebrating the region’s rich biodiversity while honoring each artist’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 were invited to enter an intimate world where the landscape was alive and waiting to be met, understood and listened to. This exhibition invites visitors to contemplate their own wild origins while visually reimagining a time when humans moved in respect, harmony and co-creative kinship with the nat ural world.
