Pentagram partner Harry Pearce was recently asked to design a poster exploring the enduring effects of the attack for the University of Maryland Art Gallery’s Questioning the Bomb exhibition (September 2nd to October 23rd, 2015).
The resulting poster, titled It’s All Our Blood, is excellent.
“I used my own blood to illustrate that in the end all our blood was symbolically spilt that day. We all still live under the cloud of what was done, and what could still be done, to us all.”
— Harry Pearce
Here’s a short making-of video.

On the topic of nuclear bombs, this video by Orbital Mechanics gives a glimpse into human stupidity. Since 1945 there have been more than 2,000 nuclear detonations.
Two. Thousand.
And today, nine countries have more than 15,000 nukes.
I support ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
