Hope and Trauma in a Poisoned Land

In 2017 I oversaw a team of students who conducted research into the lasting legacy of uranium contamination in northern Arizona. They interviewed oldtime miners and environmental scientists, water managers and Downwinders. The documentary panels they produced formed part of the Hope and Trauma art exhibit at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

The students’ documentary work was funded by Arizona Humanities, was on view at the Coconino Center and several other venues during late 2017 and into 2018, and formed the core of the exhibit catalog. Read more here.
