Artist Barbara Donachy describes her awakening to the threat of the nuclear arms race, piqued by a vivid dream. Barb talks about using clay pieces to demonstrate the big picture of nuclear proliferation: quantity, cost, and social implications. Her installation, "Amber Waves of Grain", replicates the US nuclear arsenal during the height of the Cold War. Barbara also explores the topics of nuclear waste, nuclear inheritance and guardianship, and the Cold War legacy that will be passed between generations. Her daughter, Sarah Bardwell (then 16 years old), is interviewed during the third portion of this oral history. Sarah talks about her vision of the future and humankind; what she's learning in school; what peers her age are thinking; and how nuclear proliferation factors into her imagination.
