I would urge you to reserve your free tickets without delay - and take your children and grandparents with you. Public parking is available at parking areas located about 5-10 minutes from the Edison building. The exhibition is free to attend and you can register for tickets by clicking on The Living Sea: Glenbow at the Edison. My interviews were short and precise and I am pleased to include a couple of audio recordings as well as transcripts from all recordings that I carried out (the transcripts are edited for clarity). Everyone I approached happily gave me a few moments of their time. I wasted no time in approaching a few visitors for their overall feedback about the exhibition and the photographs that they liked the most. They had come to see the photographs as well as to learn. Children showed a great deal of interest and asked their parents insightful questions about the sea creatures. Many felt they were deep in the ocean with the sea creatures they were seeing in front of them. Visitors viewed and admired photographs from different angles with fascination and interest, noting some fine details of the photographs. Then, in front of my eyes, along the entire length of the hall, was a collection of amazing and beautiful photographs of sea animals that Prince Hussain has captured over the last several years starting from his youthful days. With permission to conduct small interviews, I began my tour of the beautiful exhibition hall by first studying an informative timeline as well as profile of Prince Hussain.Ī view of Hussain Aga Khan’s The Living Sea – Fragile Unity, Glenbow at the Edison, Calgary, May 11-21, 2023. I was informed that, as of the opening time, almost 7,000 visitors had registered to attend the exhibition, which runs until May 21. Prince Hussain’s latest book of sea animal pictures “The Living Sea,” was also available for purchase at the desk and I eagerly acquired my personal copy before they sell out. The staff manning the registration desk were courteous and processed the visitors speedily. All visitors were warmly greeted by volunteers as they walked through the front doors and reached the 2nd floor of the Edison. Alas, some important maintenance work was underway in my apartment that delayed my arrival until almost 1 PM.

I wanted to capture the moment at 11 AM on Thursday May 11, when the first batch of visitors entered the exhibition hall at The Glenbow at Edison located in the heart of Calgary’s downtown.
