Details

Join the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy as we launch the collaborative, multi-media art installation "the bomb," which will be in place at the Community Commons Gallery (CCOM 1001) from April 1st through April 15th. We invite guests from all campus departments and the public community to engage with the installation, which explores the history, technology, and existential threat of nuclear weapons through the arts. The installation displays award-winning film The Bomb (2016) from artist-journalist-directors Eric Schlosser and Smriti Keshari, who will join us the following week on April 8th for a film screening and panel discussion of nuclear disarmament and current security issues on the global scale.

About the Experience:
the bomb evokes the danger and uncertainty inherent in the management of nuclear weapons. By reflecting on the technological fallibility of these machines, the installation serves as a powerful reminder of the nuclear threat, an urgent issue that has grown in importance but receives too little attention.

University Engagement:
In addition to the installation, each university visit will feature a series of events designed to engage students, faculty, and the public in a wide-ranging dialogue and debate about nuclear issues. These events will include panel discussions, Q&A sessions with the artists, and interactive workshops that aim to deepen understanding and inspire campus-wide conversations about how to prevent nuclear wars.

Admission:
Admission to the bomb is free of charge for all university students, faculty, and the general public.
