Worlds Apart
After graduating
from Oxford University with a literature degree, Emily
Ainsworth chose a startling career path. She joined a Mexican
circus as the dancer "Princess Aurora," gaining a privileged
insight into a world of magic, masquerade, and skill. Since then, this
fearless National Geographic Young Explorer has established herself as an
anthropologist/photographer who documents the lives of those who defy social
norms. From living with Mongolian nomads to exploring hidden corners of Rio
de Janeiro, where she sambaed to the top of several carnival floats, Emily
will share her adventures in worlds vastly different form our own.
