TŪMANAKO!

Tūmanako! (meaning Hope!) is an annual art exhibition for tamariki/children and taiohi/young people to create works of art to share their aspirations for a peaceful, inclusive and nuclear free world in remembr4ance of Hiroshima Day. At a time of unrest and divisiveness, Tumanako! enables tamariki and taiohi to learn about the root causes of violence and promote peace. 

The exhibition was originally launched in 2015 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington to commemorate Hiroshima Day. The event has since grown and has been held across Aotearoa, including  Auckland, Tauranga, Christchurch, Wairarapa, Hutt City, Timaru, Dunedin and  Queenstown. 

We can't wait to see all the children's creativity and engagement in the coming year's events.

Come and celebrate the young artists' success.
