UBC’s Museum of Anthropology is currently showing an exhibition entitled “Hiroshima” by Ishiuchi Miyako. This exhibit comprises 48 photographs of clothing and personal items left behind by victims of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

To complement the exhibit, MOA has organized some amazing public programming – including Voices of Hiroshima: Words of the Victims, the Witnesses, and the Creators.
There is also a speaker’s event ‘Living with Hiroshima: My Memories of 66 Years’: An Evening with Koko Tanimoto Kondo. It is on Sunday, January 29, 6:30PM at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver, 949 West 49th Avenue (admission by donation). 
Kondo, an activist and educator from Hiroshima, Japan, will speak about the ways in which her life has been affected by the 1945 atomic bomb, and her work for peace.
The evening will include a performance of Maurice Ravel’s ‘Bolero’ by mime artist Yayoi Hirano, with Sara Davis, Sara Buechner, and Chihiro Honma at the piano.
