At the Gallery

The Vow from Hiroshima (56m 38s) tells the story of Setsuko Thurlow, a Japanese-Canadian survivor of the atomic bombing, and her lifelong commitment to ensuring that the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons are never forgotten. Told through an intergenerational friendship, the film traces her journey from Hiroshima to the global movement that led to the Nobel Peace Prize–winning campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, offering a powerful and hopeful reflection on memory, responsibility, and a nuclear–weapons–free world. Screening, followed by a discussion, will take place in the exhibition space of Memorializing the Hibakusha Experience. As food will be provided, an RSVP before 5 pm on March 10 would be greatly appreciated. Please use this link to register. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Human Development & Child Studies, SEHS Dean’s Office, Barry M. Klein Center for Culture and Globalization, and OU AAPI-ERG.
