The World Hibakusha Exhibition (No More Hibakusha) at Rio + 20 with OWABI (apologies)

================================================================

 

In June 2012, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is hosting

the United Nations Conference on Sustainable DevelopmentRio20,

to mark the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit held in 1992.

 

During the period between 16th June and 22nd June,

we are showing the World Hibakusha Exhibition (No More Hibakusha)

with OWABI (apologies) as part of the Future Territories,

a series of events, which run concurrently with the conference,

organised by citizens’ groups the world over.

 

 


Doves will carry your messages of love

================================================================

We have made dove-shaped handmade cards using recycled milk cartons.

You, who have come to see our exhibition, can write your message of love.

The messages will be displayed at the World Hibakusha Exhibition (No More Hibakusha)

wherever it goes in the world. Your message will also be posted on our website

where it will be seen worldwide.

 

Doves were once used to carry messages for military purposes,

but now, they carry people’s messages of hope from all over the world and

fly freely across borders – conveying the hope that one day the world will be nuclear-free.
