80,000 Voices is proud to announce a landmark exhibition of lenticular portraits of hibakusha, the survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hosted at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre from October 24th to November 30th 2025.

​

The exhibition will feature fourteen powerful three-dimensional portraits, each paired with a heartfelt message of peace from the survivor, translated into English, Welsh, and Japanese. Featured individuals are members of Nihon Hidankyo, the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize-winning organisation that advocates for the abolition of nuclear weapons.

​

First shown at the United Nations in New York in 2023 and Tokyo last year, this exhibition marks the 80th anniversary of the bombings and coincides with the UN’s Disarmament Week (October 24th - 30th). It also takes place during the Wales - Japan year long cultural exchange.

​

Accompanying the exhibition will be a program of talks, workshops, and educational outreach throughout the five weeks, with participation from peace groups and volunteers. 

 

 Come and experience these powerful 3D images alongside their messages of peace and join us for talks and educational events.
