This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Oda expresses her grief for Japan's sufferings from 311 as well as hope for the sustainability of Japan's energy industry's future.

Known to many as the "Matisse of Japan," Mayumi Oda has done extensive work with female goddess imagery. In addition to her work as an artist, Mayumi has spent many years of her life as a "global activist" participating in anti-nuclear campaigns worldwide. She founded Plutonium Free Future in 1992. On behalf of her organization, Mayumi lectured and held workshops on Nuclear Patriarchy to Solar Communities at the United Nations NGO Forum and the Women of Vision Conference in Washington DC.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
