WHAT WE DO
80,000 Voices is an organisation using the power of the creative arts to promote nuclear disarmament and spread former nuclear bomb victims' call for peace.
We believe that there is no place in the world for nuclear weapons and we are committed to working towards their eradication.
As advocates for global peace, we are excited to be finding creative ways to bring new awareness of the nuclear threat to the next generation - through youth engagement, music, the arts and education.
We are centring the human-led message that we must rid this world of nuclear weapons before they get rid of us.

THE PROJECT
Our projects aim to highlight those affected by the legacy of nuclear bombing and testing, platforming and amplifying their voices and speak up for nuclear disarmament.
In 2023, we travelled to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kobe and Toronto for our project
"Portraits of the Hibakusha: 80 Years Remembered".
In collaboration with artist Patrick Boyd, we photographed 52 survivors of the atomic bombings, recording their experiences and messages to future generations.
THE EXHIBITION
"Portraits of the Hibakusha: 80 years remembered" exhibited at the Soka Bunka Center in Tokyo earlier this year, 2024.
Address:
6-8 Minamimotomachi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0012, Japan
People are calling for a change – from instability and conflict towards integrity-based peace and security for all. The time has come to raise a unified and sensational roar for peace that everyone can hear.
This powerful, collective voice will be heard through the universal language of music, dance, lighting and technology. By adding momentum, purpose and character to an already growing movement, we are calling out for international laws to end nuclear weapons and advance the cause of a war-free world.
