Award-winning director and artist Smriti Keshari discusses the bomb, a critically-acclaimed multimedia experience she directed and produced with Ploughshares Fund Board Member Eric Schlosser. “In The Silo” explores Bombshelltoe, an interactive collection of images and narratives curated by Lovely Umayam, a Fellow with Stimson Center's Nuclear Security Program. Bombshelltoe explores how nuclear issues are connected to society’s most pressing conversations by combining nuclear expertise and artistic expression, highlighting the humanity in nuclear policy to resonate with people who currently feel disengaged. Also: nuclear news analysis with our deputy policy director Mary Kaszynski and Daniel Wertz, Program Manager at the National Committee on North Korea.
