One of the artists whose work is being shown, Yuxi Hou, 20, who is based in Nottingham, said she believed stone circles were becoming ever more important for many people.
The English Heritage prehistorian Jennifer Wexler said there had been a noticeable rise in people visiting stone circles after the Covid crisis and as concerns about global issues such as the climate emergency have increased.
An exhibition at Britain’s most famous prehistoric site by three young artists makes the case that in these difficult times they are ever more relevant and important, drawing an increasing number of people of all ages and beliefs searching for connection, belonging and peace.
The show, billed as the first major exhibition of new photographs hosted at Stonehenge, focuses not on the famed Wiltshire monument but on three lesser known stone circles in Dorset and Derbyshire.
She said: “Stone circles connect the past with the present, linking personal histories to community and memory to belonging.
