Michael Forster Rothbart spent 2 years in Chernobyl documenting the lives of the everyday joys and sorrows of life of the people who stayed after the world’s worst nuclear accident in 1986. Forster Rothbart says “Most outsiders think Chernobyl is a place of danger and despair, and so this is what they photograph. For me, however, Chernobyl tells a story about endurance and hope.” Forster Rothbart, from Oneonta, N.Y., has traveled the world exploring the impacts of environmental contamination. He is now working on a new project, Fracking Pennsylvania, documenting the effects of natural gas drilling on rural communities. The “After Chernobyl” exhibit is traveling to communities worried about their own nuclear contamination. Through the exhibit and public forums he hopes to start a dialogue for communities to identify their problems and work together to find solutions. Forster Rothbart’s “After Chernobyl” exhibit has toured recently to Chicago, Madison, New York City and Philadelphia.
