Children and nuclear anxiety draws on research 80 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Explore young people's perspectives on nuclear war and its impact in this exhibition of artworks and poetry conveying their thoughts, fears and visions of the future. This year marks 80 years since the nuclear bombing of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Dr Patricia Nabuco Martuscelli has been collaborating with the UK-based charity Never Such Innocence (NSI) and Dr Leonardo Bandarra (University of Duisburg-Essen) to analyse the NSI archive and understand how children aged 9-18 years perceive the risk and potential consequences of a nuclear war. This exhibition displays artworks conveying children’s  thoughts, fears and visions of the future.
