Abstract
The article reviews *Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology*, an exhibition curated by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and scholars that addresses the global issue of nuclear colonialism—the exploitation of Indigenous lands and peoples through uranium mining, nuclear testing, and radioactive waste disposal. Featuring 38 works across diverse media, the exhibition highlights the disproportionate impact of nuclear activities on Indigenous communities in North America, the Arctic, the Pacific, and Oceania, situating these histories within broader settler-colonial frameworks. Key works, such as the APY Art Centre Collective's *Kulata Tjuta (Many Spears)* and Mariquita Davis's *Pacific Concrete: Portrait of Christian Paul Reyes*, illustrate multigenerational trauma and resilience linked to nuclear exposure. Overall, the exhibition seeks to raise public awareness of ongoing nuclear injustices while emphasizing Indigenous perspectives and cultural survival.
