Press Release: Pace University Art Gallery Presents Nuclear Injustice: Advocating for a Nuclear-Free Future

Pace University Art Gallery presents 'Nuclear Injustice,' a group exhibition featuring works by Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Alan Nakagawa, Michael Wang, and Will Wilson. The show explores the lasting consequences of nuclear testing and bombings through photography, sound installation, video poetry, and sculpture, opening November 15, 2025, and running through January 31, 2026. Curated by Sarah Cunningham and Joel Wilson in collaboration with Emily Welty, the exhibition examines radioactive landscapes, Indigenous resistance, and global movements for a nuclear-free future.

The exhibition matters because it brings urgent artistic perspectives to the ongoing environmental and social impacts of nuclear weaponry, connecting historical events like the bombing of Hiroshima and uranium mining on Indigenous lands to contemporary issues of colonialism and climate justice. By featuring artists who are also activists and scholars, the show underscores the role of art in advocacy and public discourse, supported by funding from the New York State Council on the Arts and the Mellon Foundation.
