Lis Fields - FUKUSHIMA→CYMRU exhibition
Prichard Jones Institute, Anglesey
Daily until Thursday, August 31 from 10:30am-5pm
Images taken by artist Lis Fields, some from within 7km of the catastrophic meltdown site at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, Japan, together with detailed captions, give a unique glimpse of the scale of the disaster in an exhibition on Ynys Môn (Anglesey), Wales.
The exhibition, titled FUKUSHIMA→CYMRU gives a sense of not only the destruction, abandonment and physical environmental cost, but also the temporary lives being led by the people displaced by the radiation now dominant in their homes and workplaces.
It further cements links between campaigners in Wales and Fukushima, united by a desire to avoid future disasters.
It is organised by PAWB - the campaign group seeking alternatives to nuclear power as Anglesey.
One of the group’s high-profile supporters, Super Furry Animals’ Cian Ciaran, contributes with a unique, new piece of music in response to Lis’ exhibition.
Collaborating with friend and musician, Meilyr Tomos, a member of Ciaran’s first ever band, the duo will fill the room with sound accompanied by a specially created film projection by the creative collective,’ffloc’.
The exhibition texts include statements by some of these people who Lis met while on the tour, revealing some of the ways they are responding to the catastrophe.
