SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Seed Bomb
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Disaster\, Yasuyo Tanaka\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: Friday\, August 1 – Sunday\, August 31 \n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, August 1\, 6–8 pm (RSVP) \n\nGallery Hours: Saturday & Sunday 12:00 – 5:00 pm \nCurated by Yasuyo Tanaka \nArtists: \n\nBlanka Amezkua\nMichele Brody\nNoreen Dean Dresser\nGarry Grant\nLaura King\nEiko Nishida\nNazanin Noroozi\nTomo Mori\nNancy Paredes\nTAFA\nYasuyo Tanaka\nTammy Wofsey\nSpecial Collaborator: Brotherhood Sister Sol\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“SEED BOMB” Exhibition \n80th Anniversary of the USA-JAPAN Atomic Bombings. \nSowing seeds for the future\, to regenerate our polluted Earth. \n“SEED BOMB” is a transformative project aimed at sowing the seeds of a peaceful future through learning\, expression\, and communication about the history of wars. in New York City\, where the development of the atomic bomb began. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings\, art events will be held around facilities related to the Manhattan Project.  \nOur “SEED BOMB” project hosts exhibitions and events focused on the themes of war and peace\, both past and present\, while providing opportunities to reflect on the future we desire. We are inviting you to participate and build a world with us. \nHistorical Context:  The title “SEED BOMB” was inspired by a student who participated in “Under This Sky: Manhattan Project” to learn about war and peace by studying the development and manufacturing history of the atomic bomb. This student later named the seed bombs he created in his organic gardening class “Little Boy” (after the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima) and “Fat Man” (after the bomb dropped on Nagasaki).  \nJapanese agronomist Masanobu Fukuoka (February 2\, 1913 – August 16\, 2008) introduced a clay ball called a “Seed Bomb” for natural farming. His ideas spread worldwide and contributed to the greening of deserts. Fukuoka’s “Seed Bombs” were made from clay soil\, various seeds\, medicinal herbs to deter birds and insects\, and water. When these bombs are sown on the ground\, the seeds germinate naturally in the right environment and at the appropriate time. The coexistence of multiple species helps each one thrive naturally\, without chemical fertilizers.  \nThe United States of America is a nation of immigrants. Its government has been involved in many wars in countries that are the homelands of its citizens.These conflicts devastate the environment and create refugees who suffer from the effects of war.  \nThe Manhattan Project\, which aimed to build atomic bombs\, was an exciting and creative endeavor that brought together wisdom from around the world. It involved many people working collaboratively in the military-industrial-academic complex. In the 80 years since the invention of the atomic bomb\, the Earth’s environment has been continuously destroyed and polluted by radioactive fallout from atomic and nuclear activities. The time has come to use the immense power of humanity to promote peace\, rather than create destructive weapons. Let us overcome our differences\, connect through our common hopes\, and sow seeds of a peaceful future where we can all enjoy life together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosta Hot House\, Michele Brody\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSEED BOMB exhibition is supported by:\n \nPrograms at the Children’s Art Carnival is made possible with funding from the Harlem Community Development Corporation\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Ruth Foundation for the Arts\, and through contributions from West Harlem community members.

SUMMARY:SEED BOMB: Artist Talk 1 with reflections on the 80th Anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
DESCRIPTION:SEED BOMB:\n80th Anniversary of the USA-JAPAN Atomic Bombings. Sowing seeds for the future\, to regenerate our polluted Earth.\n\nThis exhibition showcases artists who explore the themes of war and peace\, offering an opportunity to reflect on the common future we all desire\, beyond our differences\, through their art. \nArtist Talk Group 1: Wednesday\, August 6\, 6–8 pm (RSVP). Discussion starts at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\nNoreen Dean Dresser\nEiko Nishida\nTomo Mori\nNancy Paredes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: Friday\, August 1 – Sunday\, August 31\nRegular Gallery Hours: Fridays\, 5:30 to 7:30 pm\, Saturdays & Sundays 12:00 – 5:00 pm \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“SEED BOMB” Exhibition \n80th Anniversary of the USA-JAPAN Atomic Bombings. Sowing seeds for the future\, to regenerate our polluted Earth. \nSEED BOMB is a transformative project that sows seeds for a peaceful future by learning\, expressing\, and communicating the history of wars. It takes place in New York City\, where the Manhattan Project began developing the atomic bomb. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings\, exhibitions and events related to war and peace are being held near Manhattan Project historic sites. The SEED BOMB project provides opportunities to reflect together on the future we desire. \nThe title SEED BOMB was inspired by Felix Delacruz\, a student who created an artwork about the end of World War II\, after participating in “Under This Sky: Manhattan Project\,” a history of the atomic bomb. He later named the seed bombs he made in his organic farming classes “Little Boy” and “Fat Man\,” code names for the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The greenery that sprouts on the atomic bomb site’s barren land (where no grass or trees were expected to grow for 70 years)\, brings hope for reconstruction. \nMasanobu Fukuoka (February 2\, 1913 – August 16\, 2008)\, a Japanese farmer and philosopher\, introduced his ideas about seed bombs into natural farming.

These wars are devastating the environment and creating refugees who suffer the effects of endless battles. The Manhattan Project was a creative collaboration by the military-industrial-academic complex that brought together the “wisdom” of the world. \nIndigenous people have deep respect for nature and all life. The ancient teachings of the indigenous Diné (Navajo) people passed down the importance of preserving nature as it is\, including the “yellow dirt” (uranium) that is a raw material for nuclear bombs and power plants. By not following Diné’s lessons\, our environment continues to deteriorate through the spread of invisible radioactive contamination. \n80 years have passed since the birth of the atomic bomb\, and tensions between nations are increasing. Instead of developing weapons that exterminate nature\, including people\, it’s crucial that each of us use the collective wisdom of humanity to achieve peace and harmony with nature.  Our SEED BOMB project creates interactive spaces for people to come together through art\, listen to each other\, overcome differences\, connect through our common goals\, and plant seeds for the future we strive for. \n>> More Exhibition Info \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSEED BOMB exhibition is supported by:\n \nPrograms at the Children’s Art Carnival is made possible with funding from the Harlem Community Development Corporation\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Ruth Foundation for the Arts\, and through contributions from West Harlem community members.
