An art exhibition about the human and ecological consequences of the use of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy and the anti-nuclear activists who have been raising awareness of the dangers since 1945.
The exhibition comprises films, photography and installations by over 20 Scottish and international artists who consider the political, humanitarian and ecological consequences of the nuclear age – from the first nuclear attack on Japan up to and including the current situation in Ukraine.
This year’s exhibition is the culmination of the Peace Cranes project which included the installation of 140,000 paper peace cranes of hope and resilience at St John’s Church – one for each of the victims of the US attack on Hiroshima in 1945.
There will be a launch event on the evening of 19 August co-hosted by the Scottish Poetry Library and featuring Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie as well as a host of other Scottish, and Ukrainian poets.
