Tobira Project is a program co-organized by Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and Tokyo University of the Arts to foster community through art. Art communicators - known as “tobira” - are selected from the general public each year to work for a period of three years primarily within museums as members of the Tobira Project team, which also consists of museum curators, university faculty, and experts who are at the forefront of their respective fields. The idea is to facilitate dialog between people, artworks and spaces regardless of age, nationality, or the presence of physical or mental disabilities, achieving this through design workshops and other activities. The project celebrates its seventh anniversary next year when more than 100 art communicators will have completed their three-year tenure. This forum event will mark the milestone by sharing the experiences of the those involved as well as introducing their individual activities established outside of the project. Keywords the event will focus on include: art, diversity, social inclusion, community, cultural facilities, challenges, collaboration. Hear these individuals discuss connecting people through art in places such as senior citizen centers and child care facilities, as well as future possibilities.
