The Places We Carry | Art Exhibition By Christina Leigh

Event details

The Places We Carry explores how places become part of us through color, landscape, memory, and story. Bringing together New Zealand: Back to Life, the Savannah Cartography Series, and Sevilla Soul: Streets and Stories, the exhibition transforms maps into visual narratives of discovery, home, and connection. From the landscapes that inspired a return to art, to the waterways, communities, and histories of coastal Georgia, to a mother and daughter’s memories of Sevilla, each work explores how the places we visit—and the people we experience them with—can stay with us long after we leave. YOUR PLACE. YOUR STORY. As you explore the exhibition, consider your own geography. What place do you carry with you?
