A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado
From NEIS:
A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado as a powerful and creative online tool for educating and enlightening the public on the complexities involved in the legacy of nuclear weapons and the terrible and tragic burden it continues to inflict on marginalized peoples and on the landscape. This is a story that rarely gets told because of long-standing propaganda from the U.S. government’s war and nuclear energy departments that would have us ignore the profound changes in our cultural, social, and environmental fabric caused by the creation of nuclear weapons. Krupar and Kanouse’s work opens up not only the world of the Cold War, but also its continuation into the present.
A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado is rich with information, artistry, advocacy, and collaboration. This resource will continue to grow and expand as it attracts other contributors who will add their stories and perspectives. NEIS hopes that this Atlas will inspire the creation of similar projects around the world.
Video of this event will be prepared. When it is ready, we will link to it on this page.
