Exposure investigates how pollution from militarization impacts our families and homes and explores relationships between the environment, nuclear weapons, love, and our bodies. The multi-media art series builds from the stories of Bay Area community heroes who are impacted by exposure to nuclear weapons and are dedicating their lives to create a healthier world.
Focused on the hidden impacts of nuclear weapons development in Livermore and legacy impacts from the Bayview naval shipyard, Exposure brings audiences into the experiences of violence caused by nuclear weapons and allows those impacted to dream of a future that disrupts systems of violence in our homes, communities, and world.
