Straz Center Announces 2023 Series

July 14, 2022 by Post

Tampa, Fla. ─ The Straz announces a groundbreaking return of the National Geographic Live series to Ferguson Hall in 2023, featuring an all-female lineup for the first time in its history. Audiences will experience the world’s wonders through storytelling as they venture through the depths of the ocean, learn about giant pandas in the wild and recover lost stories from Black Wall Street in a season not to be missed.

The 2023 National Geographic Live series includes:

Diva Amon: From Shallows to Seafloor

Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023 

Marine biologist Diva Amon’s research on unusual deep-sea habitats and species has taken her to extraordinary depths in some of the remotest parts of the planet. Dive in with her to get to know the fascinating creatures in each unique layer of Earth’s massive underwater habitat—from the familiar sea creatures near the surface to their otherworldly, alien-like cousins that wander the ocean floor. She’ll share stories from her work in the Caribbean, the Pacific and beyond, along with images that shine a light on this vast—and vital—reservoir of biodiversity.

Ami Vitale: Wild Hope

Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2023

Photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale shares her personal odyssey—from documenting the heartbreaking realities of war to witnessing the inspiring power of an individual to make a difference. Her award-winning work illuminates the unsung heroes and communities working to protect our wildlife and find harmony in our natural world. Hear her awe-inspiring stories of the reintroduction of northern white rhinos and giant pandas to the wild, as well as Kenya’s first indigenous-owned and run elephant sanctuary.

Alicia Odewale: Greenwood – A Century of Resilience

Tuesday, May 23, 2023

A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, archaeologist Alicia Odewale is uncovering stories of resilience in the hundred years since the attack on Black Wall Street in the city’s historic Greenwood district. Considered one of the worst episodes of racial violence committed against Black people in American history, the Tulsa Race Massacre left a devastating toll on generations of survivors and their descendants and impacted the very footprint of the district itself. Join her to discover how archaeology and radical mapping can be used as a tool for recovering lost stories, reclaiming a narrative, and pursuing restorative justice.
