Shadows and Ashes: The Perils of Nuclear Weapons

From the curators remarks: The traveling exhibition from Princeton University, “Shadows and Ashes: The Peril of Nuclear Weapons,” investigates the consequences of nuclear weapons in the technical and emotive senses. This exhibit of art and science examines the role of nuclear weapons in our society and reflects on their results. By combining artwork and scientific information, it opens conversations on the practical and the philosophical implications of humans’ continued efforts to create and to dismantle nuclear weapons. Complex problems are by definition interdisciplinary, and they require interdisciplinary solutions.
