SATURDAY TALKS

In person, Tin Sheds Gallery Theatre. 2.30pm to 4.00pm

 

Saturday 23 April. Merilyn Fairskye, “Long Life. The Slow Violence of Radiation”. With Paul Brown. Chair: Elizabeth Rechniewski              

Sydney-based artist Merilyn Fairskye will present her new project Long Life, bringing together the range of her work on life and death in the nuclear age, produced after visiting Chernobyl, Ukraine; The Polygon, Kazakhstan; Sellafield, UK, and nuclear sites in Russia, New Mexico and Australia. The challenge is how to make the (nuclear) world felt and in doing so, perhaps disturb the way we think about this world.  In discussion with creative producer, Paul Brown, they will reflect on the relationship between artistic practice, aesthetics and the political.

Saturday 30 April. Roman Rosenbaum, “Manga as Nuclear Art: Contemporary Perspectives of Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Chair: Yasuko Claremont

Tracing the earliest manifestation of the atom bomb in comics from censored Superman comics to their Australian antipodean counterpart in Captain Atom, this seminar presentation traces the lineage of graphic novels addressing the nuclear age via Nakazawa Keiji’s seminal countercultural classic Barefoot Gen, until the appearance of the transgenerational drawings by Kōno Fumiyo’s In This Corner of the World. Leading up to the yearly commemorations of these traumatic events several new works have appeared that seek to reshape the narrative of the atomic bombs. The latest works by Takeo Aoki Hiroshima’s Revival (2016) and Didier Alcante La Bombe (The bomb, 2020) will be discussed in some detail.
