Anand Varma: Inside WonderLab

Kingsbury Hall

Step into a world of wonder with biologist-turned-photographer Anand Varma as he unlocks the mysteries of nature through cutting-edge photography techniques. In his Berkeley-based Wonder Lab, Anand captures the invisible behaviors of the natural world, beyond our naked eye. His images and videos reveal the hidden worlds that exist just outside of our perception, from the mesmerizing life cycle of a honeybee to the lightning-fast wings of a hummingbird. With Anand’s expert guidance, we can slow down the fast, speed up the slow, and magnify the miniature, enabling us to see the true beauty and complexity of the natural world. Following the lecture, guests are invited to attend a post-event book sale and signing with Anand Varma. A limited number of copies of National Geographic Invisible Wonders: Photographs of the Hidden World will be available for purchase. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
