80,000 Voices advocates for a nuclear-free world through the power of the creative arts, education and culture. It harnesses the transformative potential of the arts to strive for a future premised on peace, free from the threat of existential and environmental collapse. 80,000 Voices leverages the arts in all its mediums to create meaningful connection and cross-cultural diplomacy that rips through the current climate favouring short-term and polarising solutions, drip-fed by dopamine hits and attention-grabbing headlines. Alternatively, 80,000 Voices draws on lessons from the past, and specifically the extraordinary resilience of atomic bomb survivors, to foreground a future premised on peace, hope and meaningful connection. 80,000 Voices' most recent highlights include exhibiting its critically acclaimed exhibition ‘Portraits of the Hibakusha: 80 Years Remembered’ at the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, Oslo. In her most recent academic paper ‘Arts as a Catalyst’, 80,000 Voice’s founder Gina explores art’s unique power to harness empathy and hope and turn away from amnesia and despair.
