“To the Village Square we must carry the facts of atomic energy. From there must come America’s voice.”
Albert Einstein, June 1946, United Nations

Photography exhibition featuring the work of Lionel Delevingne taken during his 40 year journey shining a light on the nuclear industry’s covert practices and tells the story of citizens who spoke up against it. The citizens who refused to be nuclear neighbors, and fought for years to stop construction or close the reactors in their backyards. The photographs also introduce us to the victims of nuclear power, among them the children who suffer the grave consequences, even generations after the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl. Through Delevingne’s record, we can see for ourselves the tragedies of the worst accident sites: Three Mile Island in the United States, Chernobyl in Russia, and Fukushima in Japan.

October 18, 7pm:
Panel discussion: When Activism Drives Art, and Art Drives Activism with panelists Lionel Delevingne, Aileen Smith founder of Green Action, Paul Gunter, Director Beyond Nuclear and Clamshell Alliance co–founder, and Clamshell Alliance co-founder Jay Gustaferro will explore historical and contemporary examples of the intersection and reciprocal nature of art and activism as it relates to the anti-nuclear movement.  In particular, the panel will examine how the success of the anti-nuclear movement can be used as a model for changing the course of events with environmental threats we face today.

July 2017
Delevingne’s Exhibition “To the Village Square” closes

“To the Village Square” on view at Northeastern University’s International Village Gallery closes after a successful two months showing with thousands of visitors in attendance. On view were photographs and texts from Lionel Delevingne’s decades-long mission of chronicling the safe energy movement in which he captured the rise of anti-nuclear activism. His book, “To the Village Square: From Montague to Fukushima, 1975-2014” is a testament to his focus, his findings and his aim to celebrate common citizens who stand up against all odds for their beliefs and make a difference.

Lionel Delevingne is honored to be included as a new member of The Atomic Photographers Guild (APG).  The APG is an international collective of artists dedicated to making visible all facets of the nuclear age.

Currently on view at Northeastern’s International Village Gallery space are photographs and texts from Lionel Delevingne’s decades-long mission of chronicling the safe energy movement in which he captured the rise of anti-nuclear activism. His book, “To The Village Square: From Montague to Fukushima, 1975-2014” is a testament to his focus, his findings and his aim to celebrate common citizens who stand up against all odds and make a difference.

Today, the fight continues. Fracking, Pipelines, Climate Change are the words of the day. As Delevingne said, “This body of work is about power. Not just nuclear power, but, as I have witnessed, the power of community to force action and make a change. It is unfortunately clear to me that the threat of nuclear power remains real. In recent years, I have been appalled to see the co-opting of ‘green’ by the nuclear industry’s lobbying spin-masters. It will be impossible for the viewer seeing these photographs from Chernobyl and Fukushima not to reach the same conclusion. Evidence from these nuclear catastrophes confirms and reinforces that renewable, sustainable safer energy sources must be found now.”
