"Vanishing Cultures," a multimedia presentation by award-winning natural history photographer Gerry Ellis, will be featured Sept. 21 at Mississippi State.
Ellis, a multiple winner of British Broadcasting Corp. wildlife photography awards, is featured regularly on National Geographic and Smithsonian television specials, as well as CBS's Sunday Morning and PBS' Living with Animals programs.
Sponsored by the Campus Activities Board, the free public program will begin at 8 p.m. in the Colvard Union ballroom.
"Vanishing Cultures" explores the relationship between traditional and contemporary cultures worldwide. The 75-minute slide presentation is enhanced by Ellis' digital recordings of traditional music from ancient villages and ceremonies, along with creation stories told by native people in their own dialects.
