The legacy of over 2,000 nuclear weapon tests and the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan has had profound global effects. SWANS is a collective including artists Nancy Buchanan, Judith Dancoff, Jane C. Mi, Hillary Mushkin, Sheila Pinkel and elin o’Hara slavick, who mine their personal connections to nuclear physics in artworks that challenge the nuclear state. The group explores the past and future of nuclear proliferation, with explosive visuals that interrogate the legacy of the bomb, nuclear power and uranium mining. Since 1945, atomic bombs have altered global politics, ecosystems and even our biology. Can art alter those landscapes?
