Of Bones & Bridges connects then and now by centering on two communities. Four Mile Run is a stream that serves a 20 mile square area in Northern Virginia. No longer a natural stream, eight of the 20 square miles is paved or covered with buildings. Remnants of houses and sheds are discernible at Zenda, the site of a former African-American community near Harrisonburg that was abandoned in the late 1930’s. The concert features visual art in association with Novie Trump. Zenda features art by James Madison University’s Susan Zurbrigg.
