Preparing prints for the From Above exhibition opening on December 9th at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims. There will be a question and answer session about the development of the project beginning at 11am. The exhibition features portraits of atomic bomb survivors from Nagasaki.
I will also be teaching photo workshops on December 9th and 10th concentrating on the use of photography and art to promote peace. Anyone who wants to attend the photo workshops has to sign up in advance to reserve a place. There is no admission fee. Anyone with a camera or cell phone camera can attend.
The project was exhibited in Nagasaki last year but there are plenty of new portraits that will be shown of hibkauhsa (atomic bomb survivors) I photographed during last year’s trip— with Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims in Nagasaki, Nagasaki.
The exhibition is open from December 9th-16th.
A few From Above limited edition books, which features portraits of atomic bomb and firebombing survivors from WWII, will be released for the exhibition. They are only available at http://www.photoeye.com/bookstore/citation.cfm?catalog=I1040&i&i2 or at the venue.
Day after Christmas, the From Above exhibition has ended. Thank you to the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims for the great opportunity to show my hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) portraits.
The final day of my From Above exhibition at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims. It was an honor to have been asked by the Peace Hall to participate in the Nagasaki Peace Film Forum and to have met with many of the hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) I’ve photographed in the past.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to the many people who helped make this possible throughout the eight years of the project. Without them there would not be an exhibition or project.
From Above exhibition at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims is a part of 2016 Nagasaki International Peace Film Forum. The exhibition runs through December 25th.
The project hasn’t been exhibited in Nagasaki for two years so there are plenty of new portraits that are being shown for the first time in Japan.
