World-renowned photojournalist John Isaac is speaking at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, Wednesday December 17th, 7:00 PM

VanArts is proud to present an incredible opportunity to hear award-winning photojournalist John Isaac speaking on his distinguished career as a photographer for the United Nations. Isaac has photographed some of the world's most shameful tragedies from Afghanistan to Bosnia. After photographing the genocide in Rwanda, John found he was unable to continue working. His journey from despair to inspiration is evidenced in his moving photographs, which are the subject of this unique presentation.

Isaac's work with the UN, UNICEF and the Sierra Club has taken him to over 100 countries around the globe. Since retiring as Chief of the Photo Unit for the UN in 1998 he has continued his travels and produced several important books. The most recent, "The Vale of Kashmir", published in October of this year, takes an intimate look at the people and peaceful beauty of India's Kashmir region.
