Tickets go on sale Aug. 1 for “An Evening with Paola Gianturco”, the renowned speaker and photo-journalist, who will be at the Elora Legion on Sept. 19.
Gianturco, who has travelled the world photographing and interviewing activist grandmothers, is coming to Centre Wellington to share her experiences, including the images of the amazing grandmothers from around the world.
Gianturco has documented the lives of 120 activist grandmothers in 15 countries on five continents in her book Grandmother Power: A Global Phenomenon.
These are grandmothers who are fighting against poverty, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and human rights abuse, to fight for a better world for grandchildren everywhere.
Gianturco’s work has been covered on TV and radio programs including CNN and Oprah Winfrey’s television show.
Her work has been exhibited by the United Nations-New York and UNESCO-Paris.
All author royalties from Gianturco’s book will be donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s (SLF) Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign, as will all proceeds from the “Evening with Paola Gianturco” event hosted by The Grandmothers of the Grand on at the Elora Legion.
Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at Roxanne’s Reflections and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Fergus, The Elora Centre for the Arts, The Book Shelf in Guelph and Wordsworth Books in Waterloo.
