The Denver Museum of Nature & Science welcomes award-winning author and photographer Stephen Alvarez as we celebrate the launch of his new book --- Rock Art: An American Story. For this evening, Stephen will take us back tens of thousands of years to explore what humanity’s earliest art reveals about who we are and how we evolved. Pre-order your copy now and you’ll have the opportunity to have it personally signed by the author after the talk!National Geographic magazine has sent Stephen Alvarez from the highest peaks in the Andes to the deepest cave in the world to produce award-winning stories about exploration, adventure, culture and archaeology. His story on the Origins of Art led him from early human sites on the southern coast of Africa to Paleolithic art caves in France and Spain.
Moved by the power of humanity’s earliest artworks, Stephen founded the Ancient Art Archive, a nonprofit dedicated to using the latest technology to share and preserve this fragile cultural legacy. When it comes to our earliest global ancestors, their tools were primitive. Their artwork was not.
He then traces his journey across the American landscape — working in partnership with Indigenous descendant communities — to raise awareness of the depth of this cultural inheritance.
The most recent expression of this journey is the book Rock Art: An American Story, a powerful reminder that no matter how our ancestors came to this continent, we are part of a single, ongoing human story that connects us all. Get your tickets now!
