Travelling Exhibitions
The Roberta Bondar Foundation’s Travelling Exhibitions and Learning Experiences (TELE) are a series featuring fine art photography by Dr. Bondar. These interactive exhibitions travel in partnership with community galleries, museums and science centres across Canada and internationally and have attracted over 500,000 attendees. Each TELE is designed to reconnect people with nature, through images of Canada, biodiversity and extinction, migratory birds, or habitat. TELEs also feature winning photographs from the Bondar Challenge.
