Season tickets are on sale now for the three-part speaker series presented at the Victoria Theatre by professionals whose powerful stories and images have been seen on the National Geographic Channel and “National Geographic” magazine. Each session features photography and video, and concludes with a question-and-answer session.
Featuring descriptions courtesy of Dayton Live, the 2022 lineup consists of:
When Women Ruled the World with Kara Cooney
Sunday, February 20 at 3 p.m. and Monday, February 21 at 7 p.m.
“Throughout history, powerful women have been called many things – witches, regents and seductresses. But there was a time in the ancient world when at least one was called “King.” Dr. Kara Cooney, professor of Egyptology, will introduce you to some strong female leaders, whose power was compromised from the start.”
From Summit to Sea with Andy Mann
Sunday, March 13 at 3 p.m. and Monday, March 14 at 7 p.m.
“Award-winning filmmaker and photographer Andy Mann uses his work to bridge the gap between science and policy. From his early days as a rock climber to his current passion documenting the critically endangered oceanic whitetip shark, his stunning images tell the story of our rapidly changing planet, from top to bottom.”
Social By Nature with Ronan Donovan
Sunday, April 24 at 3 p.m. and Monday, April 25 at 7 p.m.
“Chimpanzees, wolves and gorillas are among the most charismatic of the social mammals we know – besides ourselves. They’re also under threat. Join biologist-turned-photographer Ronan Donovan as he talks about the incredible similarities we humans share with other social mammals in the animal kingdom, and what we can learn from them.”
