Nuclear Histories with Dr Liz Tynan

Online Lecture

Journalist, nuclear researcher, and author Associate Professor Liz Tynan PhD gives an insight into the history of British nuclear testing in Australia in the 1950s and 1960s.

This lecture provides context and background to complement Yhonnie Scarce‘s exhibition Missile Park currently showing at the IMA. Scarce’s work is underpinned by extensive and in-depth research that explores the impact of nuclear testing, the displacement and relocation of Aboriginal people from their homelands, and the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their families.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
