Atomic Ed Opening - CultVR Celebration
Janire Najera
Be immersed in the opening of Janire Najera’s Atomic Ed at CultVR!
Atomic Ed unveils the journey of Ed Grothus, from working in Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico to becoming an outspoken anti-nuclear activist. Archival documents, past and recent photographs, and a selection of letters from over 50 years of correspondence between Ed Grothus and politicians, scientists, the media and his family take us back and forth through the nuclear history of the US, and Ed’s involvement in that history.
