The DECOMMISSIONED exhibition at Hunters Point Shipyard, curated by artist Stacey Carter, showcases original artworks, historical photographs, and personal narratives, delving into the site’s complex military, social, and environmental histories. This diverse representation aims to engage the community in discussions around the shipyard’s past from its early commercial use to its role in World War II and Cold War radiological research. The opening reception features live music, refreshments, and opportunities for community interaction, while additional programming will include panel discussions and artist talks focused on cleanup and remediation efforts.
DECOMMISSIONED explores the overlapping histories of Hunters Point Shipyard through art, documentation, and personal accounts, engaging with its various roles in social and military contexts.
With curated pieces and community involvement, the exhibit not only highlights the historical significance of the shipyard but also emphasizes ongoing conversations about environmental impact and community memory.
