A Hard Rain: music and science united against nuclear risks
[]
Stockholm Resilience News
Earlier this summer, the legendary American string quartet Kronos Quartet performed Hard Rain, a concert confronting the existential risks of nuclear weapons.
Among the Assembly’s experts, and signing its declaration, was Centre researcher Victor Galaz, who is also working on a popular science book about the legacy of nuclear testing and its connection to climate risks.
The performance with Kronos Quartet contained readings, music, and reflections on humanity’s fragile future, using the power of both science and art to warn of the dangers of a new era of nuclear proliferation.
The concert closed with a powerful reimagining of Bob Dylan’s legendary anthem A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall performed by Kronos and Allison Russell.
As part of their ongoing work at the intersection of art and science, Olsson and Gaffney have also launched a record label, Strange Attractors.
