LITERATI INVITES YOU ON FRIDAY 17TH FEB 2012 AT 7 p.m.
TO A SLIDE PRESENTATION AND TALK BY ANGELA ALVARES
ON THE ANTI NUCLEAR AGITATION IN INDIA
Angela Alvares, a 60 year old musician, is part of the massive
anti-nuclear agitation that refuses to allow the Koodankulam nuclear
reactors to be commissioned. The agitation emerged after the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011.
Angela now moves around Tamil Nadu with a slide presentation of her own
making, introducing people to new and emerging technologies that make
reliance on nuclear power obsolete. Her talk also focuses on the
problems associated with nuclear energy and why more people should join
the agitations against nuclear power at Koodankulam and Jaitapur.
Goa today is sandwiched between the nuclear complex at Kaiga and the
approved complex at Jaitapur. Suddenly our future is being married to
the prospect of living under the permanent possibility of a major
nuclear accident that will require the evacuation of the entire State.
Angela studied two years at San Diego Community College in the US and
graduated with an Associates Degree in Music in l986. She graduated with
a Bachelor’s in French Literature at UCSD La Jolla, San Diego, at John
Muir College in 1989.
She put together her own Album “Only in America” of original music and
songs. She was a jazz performer at fine dining restaurants for a few
years in Nevada City and Grass valley, California.
She returned to India in 1994. She lived in Goa from 1994-2005 when she
performed her jazz routine at Goan resorts. She moved to Coonoor in the
Nilgiri Hills in 2006 but remains active as ever.
Welcome to a power-packed introduction to the problems that nuclear
power is already causing to our lives.
