SEED BOMB
80th Anniversary of the USA-JAPAN Atomic Bombings.
Seeds for the future, to regenerate our polluted Earth.
SEED BOMB is a transformative project that sows seeds for a peaceful future by learning, expressing, and communicating the history of wars. It takes place in New York City, where the Manhattan Project began developing the atomic bomb. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings, exhibitions and events related to war and peace are being held near Manhattan Project historic sites. The SEED BOMB project provides opportunities to reflect together on the future we desire.
