The opening reception for Landscapes of Hope by Stephen Strom brought visitors together to experience the remarkable landscapes of Utah’s Greater San Rafael Swell. The exhibition’s photographs capture a place shaped by millions of years of geological change—and tell a story about how people with different perspectives can find common ground in caring for the land.
Made over more than two decades from the ground and the air, Strom’s images reveal the scale and variety of the Greater Swell: its mesas, canyons, rivers, deserts, and high plateaus. Together, they invite us to look closely at the beauty of this region and consider the conversations and collaboration that helped shape its future.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the exhibition and Stephen Strom’s work. We hope you’ll visit Landscapes of Hope in Gallery 4 at HD SOUTH and spend time with these photographs.
