On August 6 and 9 of 1945, the United States dropped two nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively, killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians and profoundly disrupting the lives of survivors. These bombings mark the onset of the nuclear age. This exhibition consists of 30 posters depicting the historical path to the bombing, the immediate and long term impact on the populations of the two cities, and efforts by the survivors and civil society to abolish nuclear weapons.
Join us for this free event from August 5 to 7th from 9AM to 9:45PM, taking place at Vancouver’s Roundhouse Arts & Recreation Centre in Yaletown.
Presented with the support of the Simons Foundation Canada and the Roundhouse Arts & Recreation Centre.
