Join us for a free lunchtime tour of our exhibition, ひろしま/hiroshima, led by Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation staff.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, this exhibition, comprising work by three acclaimed Japanese women artists, shifts its gaze to another side of the city and its people – the changes, the things that remain, personal and genuine memories, as well as the everyday, the ordinary and contemporary society. This exhibition encourages us to see Hiroshima differently, as a city that was once traumatised but is now teeming with life. This exhibition features multiple different series of artworks: ひろしま/hiroshima by Ishiuchi Miyako, Here Goes River by Fujioka Aya and PARK CITY by Sasaoka Keiko.

Exhibition

ひろしま/hiroshima

Amid intensifying conflicts around the world, some of them associated with nuclear threats, Hiroshima’s experience as history’s first nuclear target is increasingly remembered and highlighted. The city’s image both as a site of war devastation and as a symbol of peace has been emphasised and selectively used for political purposes and in attempts to shape narratives, whilst the everyday reality of its inhabitants and their personal memories have largely been overlooked. To mark the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, this exhibition of work by three acclaimed Japanese women artists shifts its gaze to another side of the city and its people – the changes, the things that remain, the personal and genuine memories – the everyday, the ordinary, and contemporary society. This exhibition encourages us to see Hiroshima differently, as a city that was traumatised, once again teeming with life.
