Hibakusha have experienced the hardships of nuclear war. Their stories are hard to listen to, as they relive one of the largest catastrophes in human history. Our group believes that as the last generation to hear from the hibakusha, it is our duty to share their stories. We decided to curate an immersive installation in the Black Box Theatre, projecting images, quotations, stories, and testimonies from the hibakusha. We researched both American and Japanese perspectives, before and after the bombs were dropped. Our goal is to raise awareness about the weapons which continue to impact us today. As the future generation, we have to fight for nuclear disarmament across the world.
被爆者は、核戦争の苦難を経験されました。人類史上最大の惨事を経験された被爆者の話は、やはり悲惨でした。被爆者の方から話を聞ける最後の世代として、伺った話をできるだけ多くの方に共有するのが、私たちの役目だと思います。私たちのグループは、ブラックボックス•シアターでインスタレーションを企画し、写真や被爆者の方の話を壁に映し出すことにしました。爆発の前後について、アメリカ側、日本側の両側から調べました。私たちの目的は、現在もこの世に存在する核兵器がどれほど残酷なものか、多くの人に知らせることです。未来を担う世代として、私たちは世界中の核兵器廃絶のために戦わねばなりません。
