“Dear PoPville,
Gigi is an illustrator and Manga comic creator. Her piece (included above) uses her signature comic-book style paired with nine haikus to tell the story of the creation of nuclear weapons and the devastation they can cause–with the goal of inspiring hope and agency among viewers by showing their power to effect change.
August 6 and August 9 mark the anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Gigi’s piece is a way to honor those anniversaries as part of a global campaign that happens each August to demand a future free of nuclear weapons.”
