On August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States detonated atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the end of that year, an estimated 210,000 people had died as a result of the bombings, most of them civilians. The bombs fell in a matter of seconds. Their consequences have lasted since.

In the decades that followed, thousands of nuclear weapons tests were conducted, in the atmosphere, underground, and beneath the ocean, exposing indigenous peoples, communities, soldiers, and ecosystems to radiation whose effects are still felt today.

Nuclear weapons remain - not only a historical fact but a present threat.

Still Here brings together works by artists from Artists Against the Bomb, an ongoing project organised in collaboration with ICAN, and asks: what does it mean to remember? And what does forgetting cost us?

For the opening of the exhibition, we have the great honour of welcoming Toshiko Tanaka, artist and survivor of the atomic bombing, who is visiting Bergen that day as part of the Peace Boat voyage.

Artists Against the Bomb brings together artists and cultural workers who use music, art, and creative expression to raise awareness and engagement against nuclear weapons. Through culture, they aim to make peace work more accessible, human, and relatable.

Peace Boat works to share the stories of the Hibakusha, survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the world. Through testimony, dialogue, and international exchange, they help keep these memories alive and remind us of the humanitarian consequences nuclear weapons have had, and could still have today.

ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) is a global coalition of organizations working for an international ban on nuclear weapons. The campaign played a central role in the efforts leading to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for bringing attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons.
