On August 6 and 9, 2025, the world marks the 80th anniversary of the only nuclear bombs ever to have been dropped on civilians in war.
Through the lens of interdisciplinary artist Kei Itoβs works, this illustrated talk serves to invite audiences to better understand the horrors of past events, to contribute to a less violent future, and to honour the resilience of the human spirit in the face of profound historical shadows.
Following the talk, Ito will be joined by curator Akiko Takesue for a conversation on the role of intergenerational trauma and legacy in his work, as well as his hopes that these works might foster a sense of humanity and understanding of those impacted by the proliferation and use of nuclear weapons.
