The University of Maryland Art Gallery exhibition Questioning the Bomb: History and Non-Proliferation features over 80 posters by internationally recognized designers from around the globe.
Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the exhibition not only reminds the public of the specific historical events that decimated two Japanese cities and killed thousands, but also advocates for global relinquishment of such weapons of mass destruction from all national arsenals. Curated by James Thorpe, Professor of Graphic Design in the Department of Art at the University of Maryland, the exhibition is organized in collaboration with Colorado State University and Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
