Kei Ito is the grandson of a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor, and his interdisciplinary art explores the legacy of that trauma through themes of memory, identity, and the invisible impacts of nuclear war. NTI’s Grace Wankelman connected with Ito to discuss a powerful new piece of art he created for this year’s #CranesForOurFuture campaign.
