In preparation for the final week of The Christa Project: Manifesting Divine Bodies, Dignity Initiative Artist in Residence Eiko Otake presents an afternoon of programming that brings together scholars, specialists, and artists of many disciplines to explore the relationship of body, place, and history.

Eiko Otake has been teaching college courses on the atomic bombings and nuclear power for the last 10 years. Her solo project, A Body in Places, started in 2014 with her visit to irradiated Fukushima with photographer and historian William Johnston. Their collaborative photo exhibition, A Body in Fukushima, has since been shown in many cities both in the U.S. and abroad.
