On this week’s program we speak to Smriti Keshari, who is an Indian-American director and artist whose work covers a spectrum of the moving image from traditional, linear filmmaking to art installations. We discuss her acclaimed multi-media installation, the bomb, which was heralded as “a stunning avant-garde approach to a plea for nuclear disarmament.”

the bomb is an immersive film, music and art installation that puts viewers in the center of the story of nuclear weapons.

the bomb explores the immense power of nuclear weapons, the perverse appeal they have, and the profound death wish at the very heart of them.

the film takes viewers through the strange, compelling, and unsettling reality of nuclear weapons today.
