FREE TALK - ASHES TO BLOSSOMS: 80 YEARS AFTER HIROSHIMA

From Ashes to Blossoms: 80 Years After Hiroshima Free exhibition organised by the Ezen Foundation

This Thursday at 7pm, experience a rare opportunity to meet and hear directly from the exhibition’s curator - a third-generation survivor of the Hiroshima bombing.

In this 30-minute talk at our exhibition space in Japanese Gallery Angel, he will share personal stories passed down through their family, offering a deeply human perspective that bridges history and the present day. The session will include insights into the exhibition’s artworks, followed by a Q&A and time to explore the display at your own pace.

Marking eight decades since the atomic bombing, the exhibition reflects on the human stories of Hiroshima—loss, resilience, and the enduring hope for peace. Original press photographs, survivor testimonies, and military artefacts are shown alongside contemporary works. Visitors are invited to fold an origami crane, a timeless symbol of remembrance and peace.
