"Hiroshima, Chernobyl, Fukushima and Hereafter" Talk

NYU Barney Building

This event has ended.

- An event for being aware of world transformation by us -

Twentieth Century up to now we can say that it is the time of endless Wars that started from World War I and now to Libyan War. Millions of people were massacred almost systematically related to prosperous and growing the military weapon's industry and banks. Nuclear Industry was planned just before WWII started as creating mass destruction of weapon, and they focused on making the profitability after using at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Marshall Islands and Australia etc. The Nuclear Industry is very much associated with Department of Defense in US and Depleted Uranium bombs have been used in Kosovo, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan and Libya etc. that's Uranium came from used Nuclear fuel out of Nuclear Electric Plants. The history of art specially conceptual art has been reflecting on the human disasters with War. "DADA" started with the cause of WWI, "GUTAI" started with the cause of WWII, "CONCEPTUAL ART", "FLUXUS" with the cause of Vietnam War…. However, Afghan War and Iraq War that caused over a million deaths, there is no art movement started yet… Art creation has been very much related to human activities against inhumanity for hoping to transform the reality. Also manmade technology specially Nuclear Energy that came from Nuclear Industry out of War, was very much concerned with considering what is the fair human existence.

Atomic Bomb at Hiroshima massacred 200,000 humans, Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster massacred over a million humans. Fukushima's on going radiation in Japan to the world is non-stopping and obviously it is leading us of our crisis of existence on this small planet Earth.

As Akashic Record which Edgar Cayce described, we all humans living on this time on earth have an inevitable reason and a choice of being here for associating with this circumstances.

And I believe now we are on the real time for being aware of it for us. On this event "Hiroshima, Chernobyl, Fukushima and hereafter" will be the exact time to open up as an opportunity of it for many people specially young one in New York in the middle of Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster.
