Bombarded with the equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb a day for half a century, Pacific people have long been subjected to man-made cataclysm. Well before climate change became a global concern, nuclear testing brought about untimely death, widespread diseases, forced migration, and irreparable destruction to the shores of Oceania. As part of a series of events about nuclear colonization in the Pacific and beyond, the Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies of Heidelberg University is hosting a panel discussion on Anaïs Maurer’s new book The Ocean on Fire: Pacific Stories from Nuclear Survivors and Climate Activists (2024) and a screening of ON THE MORNING YOU WAKE... (2022).
