The Hiroshima Nagasaki A-bomb Photo Poster Exhibition

The threat of a nuclear holocaust is as real today as it has ever been. As the major world power there is a overwhelming need for the US to lead the way to reduce the danger of a nuclear attack and eventually move to complete nuclear abolition. To bring this issue to the attention of the people of Pittsburgh, a collection of diverse organizations are sponsoring an effort during the months of August and September called Remembering Hiroshima, Imagining Peace.

We are combining art, education and activism to increase awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons and to encourage reflection and stimulate participants to take action to prevent nuclear war, abolish nuclear weapons and work for peace. We also call attention to Article 9 of the Japanese constitution which renounces war as a sovereign right of the nation and the global movement which is being built around it as an alternative approach – one that does not rely on force – towards creating a more peaceful world.
