Spanish photographer Janire Najera discovers another side of New Mexico’s nuclear history.

“I think it really inspired me. The Black Hole, kind of, told another story, another side of Los Alamos, and now that it’s gone, it doesn’t play that role.”

Feminist painter Stephanie Rond often incorporates 1950’s advertising in her work.

“Discussing gender and humor go together ’cause I want people to be comfortable with the artwork right away, and then…see that there’s an underlying topic there.”
