Step into a world that is all around us, but rarely seen.

Join Edmonton based nature photographer and conservation communicator Dara Ojo for the launch of his new book, Tiny Titans: The Silent Keepers of Our Ecosystem. Drawing on six years of photography across four continents, Dara will share extraordinary close up images and stories that reveal the beauty, complexity and importance of insects and other overlooked creatures.

The evening will also feature a conversation with Dr. John Acorn, who wrote the foreword for Tiny Titans, Professor Felix Sperling, Professor Maya Evenden and Associate Professor Carol Frost from the University of Alberta. Together, they’ll explore the vital roles insects play in our ecosystems, why these creatures are so often misunderstood, and how photography, science and storytelling can help change the way we see the natural world.

Doors open at 5:00pm for light refreshments and mingling. The event will start at 6:00pm. Books will be available for purchase and signing after the main event.
