Pacific Art for Nuclear Justice
We deeply value the power of art as a tool of advocacy. As such, we are pleased to feature art pieces on the twin existential threats of nuclear weapons and climate change by children and young adults in Kiribati and the Solomon Islands, respectively. Through art retreats and contests organized by RTT Pacific Coordinator Maverick Peter Seda, as well as RTT advisers Ereti Tekabaia and Dr.Becky Alexis-Martin, young artists reflect on their heritage, share untold stories, and advocate for a world free from nuclear weapons. These community-based projects serve to amplify Pacific voices, build solidarity, and inform the world of the impact of nuclear weapons.

2025 Hiroshima ICAN Academy
"While I was a student at NYU, I got involved with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and Reverse the Trend during the 2025 NPT PrepCom. As someone whose professional and academic experiences centered on global justice, peace efforts, and youth advocacy, became interested in nuclear disarmament advocacy and chose to register for the 2025 Hiroshima-ICAN Academy webinars. After hearing from hibakusha, downwinders, scientists, and policy experts in these sessions, I applied to the Hiroshima session of the program which brings 20 individuals from nuclear-and non-nuclear-weapons states to Hiroshima for five days to foster a global dialogue and engage in deeper learning. learned that was accepted to the program and in October, boarded my flight to Hiroshima."
