Dig Up The Sun- Congolese Uranium and the Manhattan Project
The first atomic bombs were made with uranium from a single Congolese mine called Shinkolobwe, and the workers that made those weapons possible have been removed from history. Join artist and printmaker Roger Peet for a presentation on the legacy of that labor in the USA and beyond, through a linoleum blockprint map which traces the usage of Shinkolobwe ore through the Cold War into the present day.
