Hanford Reach: In the Atomic Field
April 13, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Hanford Nuclear Reservation is one of the most radioactive places on the planet. It is a terrain teeming with life, and it has long been a source of destruction.
On Thursday April 13 at 5:30 PM, the CWU Museum of Culture & Environment (MCE) will host the panel “In the Atomic Field: The Long Reach of Hanford Nuclear Reservation,” convened by artist Glenna Cole Allee. She will be joined by artist Roger Peet, whose work traces the uranium trail of the Manhattan Project from Shinkolobwe Mine in the Congo. The conversation will be moderated by anthropologist and former MCE director Mark Auslander, who authored an essay in the book Hanford Reach: Lives and Landscapes in the Atomic Field, by Glenna Cole Allee (Daylight Books, 2021).
The artists will share their work with focus upon Hanford nuclear site, and discuss the extensive reach, both temporal and geographic, of the atomic project.
