Emma MonceauxGood luck raising the funds you need to make this exhibition happen. These paintings play a critical role in passing on the story of the devastating impacts the British nuclear weapons tests had on both land and people in South Australia. This work needs to be shared far and wide. Best wishes, Emma9y

Christobel MattingleyThank you for this important series of paintings by Anangu women whose lives have been affected by the 1953-63 British nuclear tests on their traditional country. The lives of Anangu families continue to be adversely affected and seriously compromised by radio active contamination and residues from those tests.

Tina JacksonThis is such an important and worthwhile project. As the debate about new nuclear waste dumps in SA intensifies, these are voices that must be heard. Thank you to everyone involved.9y

Ellise BarkleyWell done to all the artists- the paintings look really interesting. It's most timely that these creative works are to be exhibited publicly given the nuclear fuel cycle Royal Commission in SA. Glad the Anangu women have creatively expressed some of their stories and family memories, of the sad impacts from previous nuclear activities on their communities and country. I hope the paintings remind us all of what has already been lost, so we choose a better future this time around. Thanks so much for sharing.9y
