Quaker Run Wildfire

Overview

Quaker Run Wildfire is an essay film set in the Manahoac Territory near the Shenandoah Blue Ridge. Assembled with audio/visual material from two wildfires (Fall '23 and Spring '24) near artist Daniel Bachman's home after the region experienced record breaking heat and extreme drought conditions, this first-person account explores the complex relationship between the chaos of Virginia's 17th-century settler colonialism and our modern crisis of climate breakdown.
