Questioning the Bomb was held at The Art Gallery’s in 2015. The exhibit featured over 80 posters reflecting on the 70th anniversary of the nuclear bomb drop in Hiroshima.
The artwork in the exhibition consists of works of art not only specifically calling attention to the fateful day that in August of 1945 when the atomic bomb was dropped, but also referencing the event and its effect on surrounding societies.
With Associate Professor James Thorpe of the Graphic Design department, we worked with designers from all over the world to make this exhibit possible. These designers include Pentagram designer Harry Pearce, who used his own blood to create his poster.
