Tokyo Bunka Kaikan 60th Anniversary Forum
"Towards more accessible cultural institutions—community, diversity, and COVID"
The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which began in February 2020, has affected our way of lifestyles and our values in many ways. It has forced many venues and arts organizations to suspend their activities, and it has also forced us to change our way of creating and experiencing the arts.
What have we, as cultural institutions and arts organizations, learned and gained in a time of COVID?
In this virtual forum, we will take a look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cultural institutions and arts organizations, focusing on examples from Europe, and consider the social mission of arts and culture that emerged during the pandemic.

Agenda |
In 2021, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan commemorated its 60th anniversary. Over the past seven years, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan has actively collaborated with cultural institutions and arts organizations in Japan and abroad to develop and implement a wide range of education and outreach programs, such as the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Music Workshop. Drawing on our experience and network, we have launched this virtual forum to discuss the role and diversity of cultural institutions in the age of the 100-year life. Joined by arts organizations from around the world, we will reflect on the experiences of the coronavirus pandemic and ask why culture and the arts should be accessible to all, and why cultural institutions and arts organizations should remain more inclusive and open.
