At the Corner of Conversation and Action
The Jessie is a collaboration space and gathering place for nonprofits and community members. We empower community leaders, facilitate partnerships and provide cultural enrichment in the heart of downtown Jacksonville, Florida.
Florida's Mountains
As a boy, University of North Florida Professor Alexander Diaz (@alexander_diaz_photo) dreamed of the wild frontiers early explorers once knew. But by the time he was grown, those frontiers were gone. In Florida's Mountains, he photographs what remains, not peaks or ranges, but traces of the natural world that progress has changed. The project continues in the tradition of American landscape photography that was established and developed by Carleton E. Watkins, Ansel Adams, and their contemporaries.
Each photograph transforms ordinary mounds into symbols of what nature once was, and what it might still be.
Visit Florida's Mountains in the Great Hall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the month of November.
