Will Wilson's series Auto Immune Response follows a Navajo (Diné) man as he wanders through a postapocalyptic landscape. At this talk, Wilson will be joined by University of Rochester professor Janet Berlo and associate curator Heather A. Shannon to discuss the cultural and social implications of uranium mining on the Navajo reservation and the way Wilson’s environmental concerns continue to inform his artistic production.
