Tickets on sale for upcoming
“National Geographic Live” series
Tickets are now availa-
ble for the “National Geo-
graphic Live” speaker se-
ries for 2016/2017, present-
ed by Portland’5 Centers
for the Arts. The five-part
series features talks by
NASA mechanical engi-
neer Kobie Boykins, Pulit-
zer Prize-winning photo-
journalist Lynsey Addario,
photographer Steve Win-
ter, mountaineer Hilaree
O’Neill, and paleoanthro-
pologist Lee Berger.
Kobie Boykins, supervi-
sor of the mobility and
remote sensing teams for
the U.S. Mars rover “Curi-
osity,” has monitored head-
line-making studies, in-
cluding proof of the former
presence of water on Mars,
which indicates the red
planet could have support-
ed life. Boykins shares his
boundless enthusiasm for
unravelling the mysteries
of outer space and recounts
the latest exciting chapter
of Mars exploration on
September 30.
Photojournalist Lynsey
Addario has built her ca-
reer on capturing powerful
images in dangerous envi-
ronments
around
the
world, including war-torn
areas of Afghanistan, Dar-
fur, and Libya. On October
26, Addario chronicles her
harrowing
work
and
explains what drives her —
despite having a family —
to keep going back.

She says many Bohras are
misled to believe that Islam
condones the procedure.
She has confronted her
mother, but her anger is
really at the community.
She wants the Bohra reli-
gious leadership to come
out against the practice.
“It’s not going to end by
not talking about it. You
have to keep bringing it up
as something that should
not be done,” she says.
“That’s the only way to
tackle it.”
but the force of the con-
flicting personalities that
threatened to unravel the
entire endeavor. The talk
includes dramatic pictures
from photographer Cory
Richard and clips from
Renan Ozturk’s documen-
tary Down to Nothing.
Finally,
Lee
Berger
speaks on a profound shift
in our understanding of
human evolution on March
24. In 2013, he and his
team discovered Homo
naledi in a secret chamber
of the remote Rising Star
cave system near Johan-
nesburg, South Africa,
with evidence to suggest
ritual burial — a practice
long thought to be unique
to Homo sapiens.
The talks are held at the
Newmark Theatre, located
at 1111 S.W. Broadway in
Portland. To buy tickets,

Steve Winter, an award-
winning photographer, de-
tails his journey tracking
big cats around the globe.
On November 9, he brings
the audience on a trip
around the world in search
of the cats: from Asian
jungles, where resilient
tiger populations persist; to
the Himalaya, home of the
rare snow leopard; then to
Latin America, to capture
images of the elusive
jaguar; and finally to
Hollywood in pursuit of the
American cougar.
On January 25, moun-
taineer Hilaree O’Neill
expounds on her harrowing
journey to the summit of
Burma’s Hkakabo Razi to
determine if it is Southeast
Asia’s highest point. She
shares how her team’s
greatest obstacle wasn’t
dwindling rations, the gru-
elling jungle hikes, or life-
threatening hypothermia,
