Shinichi’s tricycle is a sobering reminder of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and a powerful call to action - to the public, decision-makers and diplomats – to rid the world of nuclear weapons once and for all.
Future Memory - Tricycle was donated to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum and the City of Geneva by ICAN in partnership with the 1Future/Future Memory project as a tribute to the victims of the atomic bombings of 1945 and to the work of civil society and other members of the international community, particularly states that have joined the TPNW, towards the elimination of nuclear weapons.
Artists Akira Fujimoto and Cannon Hersey bestowed this moving sculpture of Shinichi's tricycle upon the Geneva-based International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) as a tribute to its tireless efforts in advocating for nuclear disarmament. ICAN has donated the sculpture to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum and the city of Geneva in September 2024. The sculpture has been installed at the main entrance hall of the Museum, accessible to the general public, ensuring that every visitor is met by its presence upon arrival and departure.
