Japan is currently facing an unprecedented crisis. Even now, one month after the earthquake, the situation at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains critical. Unsurprisingly there is pollution within a 30km radius, where orders have been issued to evacuate or take shelter indoors, but for a while radioactive substances were also detected in tap water in Tokyo, over 200km away, with the Tokyo government distributing mineral water for infants. Further, TEPCO has detected low-level radiation in seawater, arousing fears in neighbouring countries.
We think now is the perfect opportunity to tell people that a society powered by natural energy is indeed possible. No Nukes Posters calls for submissions worldwide to broaden the dialogue of a post-nuclear movements.
There are three themes:
1. The depiction of the possibility of natural energy
2. A system that enables a choice of electricity
3. Any other appeal for a Post-Nukes society
In Japan, protests calling for a stop to nuclear power have started to spread. They could potentially become the biggest groundswell since the student movement of the sixties. We hope to see posters inspired by these protests.
