Explore art, history, and architecture in the heart of Savannah, Georgia! The Jepson Center and the Telfair Academy are both on Telfair Square.
A world otherwise hidden is now on view at the Jepson Center.
In Bojana Ginn: Biometric Sublime, artist Bojana Ginn transforms the rhythms of the human body into immersive light and sound. Each visitor’s pulse is captured through biometric sensors and translated into a living environment that changes in real time.
Drawing from her background as a medical doctor, Ginn explores the systems beneath perception: what connects us internally, and to the world beyond us. Natural materials like jute and wool run through the space, anchoring the experience in something tactile and grounded.
👇Your presence is the final piece. See it through July 5.

One of the Lowcountry’s oldest art forms begins with a coil of grass.
For centuries, African American artisans in the coastal Southeast have practiced the tradition of coiled basketry, an art form brought to this region by enslaved people of West African descent. Originally essential to rice cultivation, these handsewn forms evolved into works of remarkable artistry using local materials like bulrush and sweetgrass.
Roots in the Rushes: African American Basketry of the Lowcountry explores the deep history, cultural knowledge, and enduring creativity behind this tradition that lives on today in the coastal communities of the Gullah Geechee.
Discover the stories woven into every coil along with some familiar Savannah scenes at the Telfair Academy.
