Members of the Flagstaff community read aloud fragments of survivor voices from Chernobyl’s nuclear disaster in 1986
The performance takes place in front of Gabriela Bulisova’s photographs Chernobyl Revisited: Half-Lives and Half-Truths. Bulisova had traveled to the “exclusion zone” in Belarus to capture the aftereffects of the nuclear catastrophe. The spoken testimony comes from Svetlana Alexievich’s book Voices from Chernobyl for which she won the Nobel Prize in Literature. On each of the three days, different fragments will be read.
