Historic LoDo: Cyril Christo, the son of environmental artist Christo, and Marie Wilkinson are award-winning photographers who document the relationship between indigenous peoples and the natural world. Christo and Wilkinson will discuss and sign their new book Walking Thunder: In the Footsteps of the African Elephant ($60.00 Merrell Publishers). The African elephant is one of the most majestic creatures on Earth, yet it faces an uncertain future. Walking Thunder is a superb tribute to the remarkable beauty of these endangered animals. With striking duotone images Christo and Wilkinson capture not only the awesome strength and size of the African elephant, but also its gentleness and human-like emotions. Accompanying the photographs are quotations, myths and stories from the past 400 years, from folklore and from explorers and tribal members, presenting both Western and indigenous perspectives. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Tusk Trust and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
