Event Details - Ami Vitale:Rhinos, Rickshaws, & Revolutions

 National Geographic magazine photographer Ami Vitale will give a talk, “Rhinos, Rickshaws, and Revolutions,” on Monday, November 27, at 7:00 in the Payne Room at the Tang. Ms. Vitale began her career covering brutal global conflicts. Her work has expanded to capture scenes beyond violence: those moments of profound beauty in which the power as well as the fragility of life are revealed. A frequent speaker throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia, Ms. Vitale has traveled to more than 90 countries for her work. Her work has been integral to conservation efforts for the world’s last white rhinos, elephants at the Reteti Sanctuary in Kenya, and the giant pandas in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve. She has produced stories on subjects as diverse and consequential as the Israeli Palestinian crisis; climate change; and the cultural, societal, economic costs of coal. Her work aims to bear witness to the different realities of our planet. There will be time for questions, and a reception with our speaker will follow.
