Current Exhibition
Memorializing the Hibakusha Experience
January 22–April 5, 2026
Created in partnership with the Peace Resource Center at Wilmington College, Ohio, Memorializing the Hibakusha Experience features the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Memorial Collection, the brainchild of Quaker nuclear abolitionist Barbara L. Reynolds (1915–1990), who settled in Hiroshima throughout the 1960s. Comprised of photographs, publications, artifacts, and other materials of Japanese origin—the likes of which has no parallel outside of Japan—this singular archive was assembled in support of Reynolds’s advocacy, which strove to eradicate nuclear arms by shining a light on the plight of the hibakusha (A-bombed survivors).
Harmonizing with the historical works, the exhibition also prominently features artworks by five contemporary artists, whose work retains the urge to memorialize the hibakusha experience.
