Rachelle Wilson
The zine image that I have created, it was for a class called Atomic Bomb and feminism, I have recently taken for the fall semester at the University of New Mexico. This photograph shows my daughter sitting and seeing the artist work at the Albuquerque museum. During the time there was an exhibit that shows art through the dangers of atomic bomb that has put a lot of nuclear colonialism in the state of New Mexico. I have taken the photo of the three sisters mountain, that is near Churchrock, New Mexico. During the 1970's a uranium spill that had happen and there is still hazardous waste of uranium has affected the land of Churchrock. This photo shows a statement of how the future generations will be affected. Is this how our future generations will see the land, through the lens of photographs?
