Youth-led mobile museum preserves hibakusha narratives to advance global nuclear disarmament

It situates the hibakusha experience within a long‑term historical trajectory of nuclear warfare, colonial‑era bombings, and post‑war diplomatic failures, offering a deep temporal context.
The youth‑led mobile museum weaves together historical depth, artistic reverence, and scientific evidence to amplify marginalized hibakusha voices, while inviting cross‑cultural empathy and future scenario planning.
Though Indigenous perspectives are scant, the initiative’s creative format functions as a living memorial that can inform treaty reform, education, reparations, and digital modelling. By grounding disarmament discourse in lived trauma and collective memory, the project creates a disciplined disruption that challenges the complacency of nuclear politics and opens pathways toward a more accountable, humane global security architecture.
