The Exhibitions

EXPOSURE: NATIVE ART AND POLITICAL ECOLOGY

This exhibition documents international Indigenous artists’ responses to the impacts of nuclear testing and uranium mining on Native peoples and the environment. The exhibition and publication give artists a voice to address the long-term effects of these man-made disasters on Indigenous communities in the United States and around the world.
