80 Years After Hiroshima Bombing, Art Needs β€˜Courage to Be Afraid’ Eighty years after the city’s destruction, we seem to be blundering into a new age of nuclear perils. It is time for culture to rediscover β€œthe courage to be afraid.”

80 years after the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the world has blundered into a new age of nuclear perils, Jason Farago writes. β€œTo survive this second nuclear age we are going to need models from the first one: artists who faced up to what the bomb did, and what the bomb made of us.”

The 1946 β€œAtomic Bowl” is not as well known as it should be, given its macabre location and timing. This excellent new documentary may finally change that.
