Let's Discuss...Spanish Moss

A gallery talk presented by The Johnson Collection, given by Curator Landon Bryant discussing the exhibition "Draped in Time."

A native of Laurel, Mississippi, Bryant with his clever and insightful conversations, was profiled by The New York Times as a Southern voice with a “soft drawl that cloaks a devilishly sly sense of humor, [and he] has become a fixture on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with his explanation and exploration of what it means to be Southern.” During his gallery talk, he will discuss the inspiration, curation process and how Spanish moss performs multifarious roles as a recurrent backdrop for the many diverse and interconnected stories that the South has to tell.

The Johnson Collection’s downtown Spartanburg exhibition space, TJC Gallery (154 West Main Street, Spartanburg, SC), will showcase "Draped in Time: Spanish Moss and the Tapestry of the South," curated by Landon Bryant from May 8 to July 20.
