The Grebel Gallery is pleased to present a selection of three works from Mary Kavanagh’s solo exhibition, Daughters of Uranium1 following her decade-long investigation into the veiled history of nuclear armament. Derived from the chemical sciences, the term “daughters of uranium” refers to the radioactive decay chain of naturally occurring Uranium (U-235 being the crucial element for sustaining a nuclear chain reaction) while evoking generations born into an uncertain future. Rich with scientific, literary, and historical references, the exhibition is conceptualized as a series of “chapters” that encourages a certain interpretive agency, while reflecting on the continuum of 20th and 21st century war.
Nearly eighty years after the detonation of the world’s first atomic bomb, the global threat dealt by nuclear weapons lurches perilously forward. Trinity, Then and Now brings into focus and proximity the grave impact of what is considered the first significant radiological event–the Trinity atomic bomb test on July 16, 1945 in the desert of New Mexico–with reflections on its continued ecological, physiological and psychological toll.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Idea Factory in downtown Kitchener will spotlight a panel discussion surrounding peace, justice, and strong institutions, facilitated by Paul Heidebrecht with community guest panellists.
The wisdom of religious traditions provide critical insights that can help address shortcomings in Western conceptions of social innovation. The aim of this roundtable discussion is to spark a broader conversation about wisdom-centered approaches to social innovation with interested faculty and students at the University of Waterloo.
The Grebel Gallery will be hosting a meet and greet with artist Mary Kavanagh as she presents her exhibition, Trinity, Then and Now.
