An International Lens: The world in images by Nicolás Marino

Tue, 25 Sep 2018
18:00 - 20:00

Through the combined use of compelling imagery and storytelling, award-winning photographer and Argentinian-born, now Perth-based world adventurer Nicolás Marino will take us on an adrenaline-filled journey across far-flung corners of the planet where very few travellers dare to go.

 

This special presentation following the 2018 AGM will offer a different view on aspects of the world and humanity that are rarely presented in the media or through official channels.

 

From dodging Boko Haram in Nigeria, searching for gold at the depths of the Nubian Sahara in Sudan to experiencing the incredible hospitality of Mongolian nomads, Nicolás’ personal experiences will show a way in which having an open attitude towards others can have the potential to transform life in unimaginable ways.

 

Through his international experiences, Nicolás will offer his perspectives on the role he sees travel and photography playing in citizen diplomacy, improving cross-cultural understanding and relations between countries.
