Artist talk with Roger Peet

On 17 February, artist Roger Peet joins in conversation with curator Fabienne Rachmadiev on his work Dig Up The Sun (2023), on view in the exhibition Between Fires: Irradiated Imaginations and Anti-Nuclear Solidarities. 

Roger Peet is an artist, printmaker, muralist and writer living in Portland, Oregon. Dig Up The Sun traces the passage of uranium from DR Congo’s Shinkolobwe mine through the infrastructure of the Manhattan Project. The purity and concentration of Shinkolobwe ore were critical to the rapid success of the project, and due to the state secrecy surrounding the atomic bomb, the Congolese workers who made the weapon possible have been excised from history. Contamination from Shinkolobwe uranium affects sites across the USA.
