MAYVILLE, N.Y. — Renowned photographer Dr. John Gerber is set to unveil his latest photography exhibit, showcasing the awe-inspiring journey of the wildebeest during the Great Migration.
The exhibit documents the wildebeest’s remarkable 1,100-mile seasonal trek across the Mara River, from Kenya to their calving grounds in Tanzania.
Gerber, Mayville resident and world-class international photographer, has traveled extensively, capturing breathtaking moments in Africa, India, Brazil, Patagonia and beyond.
Reflecting on his work, Gerber said, “By photographing our planet’s last great migration, I hope to show that beauty can be found even in the harshest of circumstances and environments.”
Accompanying the exhibit is Gerber’s latest book, “Songs of the Serengeti, Meditations on Wildebeest,” a photo essay chronicling the struggles and triumphs of Serengeti. The book intertwines imagery with Gerber’s reflections, offering a blend of visual and literary artistry.
“The Great Migration” photography exhibit will be on display at The Sheep Barn Gallery, 5155 Morris Road in Mayville, from Aug. 10 to Sept. 8, with open gallery hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. For additional information and event updates, visit johngerberphotography.com or email hello@johngerberphotography.com.
