Lanterns for Peace
Every August, people across the world pause to remember the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These anniversaries are not only moments of mourning and remembrance; they are also calls to conscience. They invite us to renew our commitment to peace, reconciliation, and the abolition of nuclear
weapons.
Lanterns for Peace: From Hiroshima to the World is a global, decentralised commemoration inspired by the traditional lantern ceremonies held in Hiroshima. Through floating lanterns and symbolic gatherings, communities around the world unite in memory of those who suffered, in solidarity with survivors, and in hope for a future free from nuclear weapons.
