Finding ways to come at political engagement in Trump 2.0 times is a heavy burden – so sometimes art can be a way in. This Friday, Alienated Majesty bookstore offers a meditation on complex topics – nuclear proliferation, uranium mining, nuclear waste disposal – through myriad multidisciplinary sonic interpretations. Local experimental composer/Hindustani classical singer Sowmya Somanath’s solo project Plume Girl illuminates an adapted preview of the Time Zero podcast, launching later this month, which deals with “nuclearism, its aesthetics, and its influence on the paranoiac cultural architecture of postwar America.” Time Zero interviews artists Trevor Paglen, Rose B Simpson, Richard Misrach, Joanna Keane Lopez, and more, and features an original drone soundtrack by Sean J Patrick Carney. Local interdisciplinary artist Hannah Spector and queer eco-poet C. Rees join the discussion as well. – Lina Fisher
