Content:
In this lecture, Dr. Kokoli analyzes examples of art and visual activism found at the Women’s Peace Camp at Greenham Common (1981- 2000), a women-only camp established in protest of nuclear proliferation and the Cold War ideology of deterrence that fuelled the arms race. This peace camp occupied the periphery of the US military based at the Royal Air Force Greenham Common in Berkshire, England, where nuclear missiles were kept. Dr. Kokoli raises questions on representational ethics and aesthetics of nuclear violence from intersectional feminist perspectives.
