Event Overview

Culture and Home:New Future Opened by Art

The "International Conference on Open Access to Culture " was first held in 2022 as part of Creative Well-being Tokyo.* The theme for this second conference is "Culture and Home." In today's increasingly diverse and complex society, everyone is seeking a place where they feel at home (place to belong). This conference presents how culture can offer spaces where everyone feels safe and secure place as a form of well-being, while exploring a new future opened by art.

* Creative Well-being Tokyo is a project aimed at addressing social issues in Tokyo, such as aging and inclusivity, by improving accessibility and expanding opportunities for viewing, creating, and presenting art, focusing on seniors, people with disabilities, individuals with overseas roots, and children.

Main Visual Concept

This graphic is designed in consideration of diversity in color vision, so that it can convey information to as many people as possible. The design for the main graphic features minute adjustments in hues to express the broad range of how people see and sense things. The main graphic represents the philosophy of Creative Well-being Tokyo—"open access to culture"—with an aim to share in the rich diversity of expression with all its fluctuations rather than to make adjustments to achieve ease of understanding for any one individual. This main visual has passed color universal design (CUD) verification.
