Arts Commons Presents National Geographic Live- Pink Boots and a Machete with primatologist and TV correspondent Mireya Mayor

A fantastic start to the National Geographic Live series, Arts Commons Presents audacious explorer and Emmy Award-nominated wildlife correspondent for the National Geographic Channel, Mireya Mayor. Mayor’s adventures have taken her, armed with little more than a backpack, notebook, and hiking boots, to some of the wildest and most remote places on earth. She’s survived poisonous insect bites, been charged by gorillas, and chased by elephants ⎯ and keeps going back for more. Currently hosting the Nat Geo WILD series Wild Nights with Mireya Mayor, Mayor has been hailed as the “female Indiana Jones,” and an inspiration to young women interested in science and exploration. She’ll share stories, images, and film clips of her adventures, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the hardships and danger of life in the field, along with the moments of discovery that make it all worthwhile. Come and explore her life of adventures with us! For more information, please call our box office at 403-294-9494.
