Did you know that the uranium used to bomb the citizens of Hiroshima was mined at a forbidden site known as 'the money place' by First Nation people in northern Canada? Or have you heard about the environmental damage and social upheavals at the Atomic City of Oak Ridge? And how about the bikini swimwear? Did you know that the gaze on a woman's belly button was that of military men carrying out atomic bombardments of the Bikini Atoll while fetishising 'sex bombs' and (an)atomic 'bombshells'? And how about the poor Pacific Islanders who got their atolls blown to pieces? Have you heard about the colonial history of violence and oppression of those whose only aspiration was to live in peace with their coconut islands? And everyone is talking about climate change these days. Did you know that the debate emerged as a reaction to the fear of ordinary citizens wondering if atomic bombs would blow up the entire sky?
