National Geographic Live is back, live and in-person with a series of Explorers who are ready to take us from Ancient Egypt to inside a bear’s den to deep beneath the waves of our oceans, but first, Joel Sartore comes to Calgary to share his trials and tribulations of photographing thousands of at-risk and endangered animals to build his monumental photo ark. You can hear him speak live at the Jack Singer Concert Hall on Sunday, February 6 and Monday, February 7, 2022. Find more information at artscommons.ca/photoark.
This April, Arts Commons Presents and National Geographic Live are bringing a virtual presentation of three inspiring women photographers to screens and homes in Calgary.

Back in 2017, Anand Varma brought his strange and mysterious, very often fascinating photography and stories to Arts Commons, enthralling a packed Jack Singer Concert Hall. Now in 2021, he returns, albeit virtually, to speak again with an excited Calgary audience.
Egyptologist, archaeologist, associate professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Language and Cultures at UCLA, Dr. Kara Cooney has spent her academic career exploring the history of female power. Dr. Cooney brings one question to the forefront. Why are we as human beings so hostile to female power? Why do we think we’re not? Or why do we think it’s ok?
Bertie Gregory graced the Jack Singer Concert Hall stage with his amazing photographs of coastal wolves, humpback whales, and other Pacific Northwest fauna, and shared his hilarious stories in a 2017-18 presentation of National Geographic Live, presented by Arts Commons Presents. Meet him LIVE on Nat Geo Live: Backstage.
