About the event Splitting the Atom
The exhibition "Splitting the Atom" takes place at the Contemporary Art Centre and the Energy and Technology Museum (Rinktinės St. 2, Vilnius).
We invite you to the opening on Friday, September 18, from 6 p.m. at CAC. During the event, a film program can be seen in the main gallery, which will be screened daily throughout the exhibition. We invite you to visit "Splitting the Atom" until October 25.
There are two nuclear power plants in the vicinity of Vilnius: Ignalina (decommissioned) and Astravets (not yet operational). A third, and infamous other, is Chernobyl, eerily present following the effects of its catastrophic failure, and more recently via the popular television series that focuses on the disastrous consequences of lies and neglect. The exhibition "Splitting the Atom" offers insight into the different cultural contexts of these plants and their role in the global infrastructure of the nuclear cycle – from natural resource extraction to waste.

"Splitting the Atom" was initiated by Eglė Rindzevičiūtė as a parallel project to the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council networking project ‘Nuclear Cultural Heritage: From Knowledge to Practice’. The network’s partner project, ‘Atomic Heritage Goes Critical’, led by Anna Storm, will organise an international scientific conference on histories and cultures of atomic power in Vilnius and Ignalina in 2021.
The exhibition is financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
Exhibitions are open Tuesday to Sunday
12–8pm
