Step into a space of memory and dialogue as you explore twenty paintings created by students in Hiroshima, on display at the Japanese Pavilion of the Jardin botanique. These artworks were inspired by meaningful conversations with survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. he hibakusha—survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—now number fewer than 100,000, with an average age of 86. As their voices grow quieter, one essential question remains: how can we preserve their memory and share their message of peace with future generations? Art as a way to remember Hiroshima – Passing the Torch is a deeply moving exhibition. It reflects an effort to preserve personal and collective memory through art and intergenerational dialogue. The exhibition helps bring to light an event that left a profound mark on Japan and the world. Warning: Some of the scenes depicted may be upsetting to some visitors. Special thanks to the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation for its contribution to this exhibition. Also on view August 4 to 8: Survivre et dessiner, an exhibition of artworks created by hibakusha, presented at the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
