Donderdag 12 september, 20 uur (inloop 19.45 uur): lezing van Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou: Scarred Land: An Invisible History of the Bomb
If the image of the mushroom cloud stubbornly oscillates between the uncanny and the sublime, there is also a pre and a post explosion that lack the bomb’s piercing visuality. To optimise the technology of the nuclear bomb, different kinds of dirty work were necessary. Who had to mine the uranium that exploded over Hiroshima? How to deal with environmental contamination from ceaseless testing throughout the Cold War? What are the histories of resistance of local communities (still) fighting for their land rights in the aftermath of nuclear testing? Combined with a literary reading, this talk tells some of the stories that didn’t make their way into canonical narratives around the bomb. It takes a selection of contemporary artworks as its guide through territories that have been sacrificed to nuclear colonialism.
Fiction and poetry by, among others: Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Kurt Vonnegut, Chantal Spitz.
After Hiroshima wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Kunstraad Groningen, Mondriaan Fonds, NICA, en Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.
