Listening to the Land: is a nine-month community celebration of the Bartram Trail, launching with the project-shaping photography exhibition With Rapture & Astonishment that highlights how eleven photographers inspired by William Bartram reimagined the landscape he encountered. A series of workshops, nature walks, and dynamic online conversations will follow, inviting photographers of all levels to join us in creating a community archive of the Bartram Trail that celebrates this region’s rich biodiversity while honoring each person’s unique way of seeing and responding to the land.
Participants will be offered the opportunity to have their photographs juried into an online archive and a community exhibition in Fall 2023 that will bring to light the delicate and beautiful ecosystems that often go unobserved in public green spaces.
An exhibition reception of With Rapture & Astonishment and the launch of our community Project Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail will take place December 15, 5:00-6:30 pm. Free and open to the public.
Featured Artists: Beate Sass, Brent Martin, Eric William Carroll, Erik Mace, Frances Bukovsky, Kaye Savage, Mike Belleme, Raymond Thompson Jr, Susan Alta Martin, Susan Patrice, and Yvonne Dalschen
