Explosive Art: Creativity, Justice, and Nuclear Weapons

In this episode, we interview Molly Hurley, a Wagoner Fellow from Rice University in Houston, TX, a Nuclear Program Fellow with The Prospect Hill Foundation, and Fellowship Associate with Beyond the Bomb. She currently works as an independent researcher studying nuclear weapons issues, their intersectionality with many other social justice issues, and the role that artwork could play in carrying on stories and messages about the atrocities committed for the sake of nuclear development and dominance. Starting this fall, Molly will enter an MFA program in Community Arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and is planning to take her research to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
