Session 4: Fallout and Downwinders: visual examinations of the nuclear age
Since the inception of the atomic age, artists around the globe have generated visual responses to the development, use, and threat of nuclear weapons. In this session, we will examine works that consider the physical, psychological, environmental, and cultural effects of radiation, uranium mining and disposal, and nuclear weapons.
