Session
What can geospatial technology do for memory — and for peace? This keynote explores how maps, satellite imagery, and digital archives preserve and pass on the memory of war and disaster across generations, from Hiroshima to conflicts and disasters unfolding today. The session combines a keynote presentation, testimony from Hiroshima, and a moderated dialogue — inside Peace Memorial Park itself.
