Description

Sharing two decades of observations on the impact & legacy of major cultural interventions in cities. I am testing these podcast waters... and will start by thinking out loud about the bumpy cultural journey towards Tokyo 2020. (But I will also share reflections on other cities) When Japan's Cultural Olympiad was launched at the end of the Rio Games in 2016, no one could have imagined what was to come... Our planet has lost one year of collective encounters and celebrations. What happens next? How do we rebuild festivals? And... how can this manifest in Tokyo?

What are the Olympics without their festivals?

2021/03/22

In this podcast I will be exploring the relationship between mega-events and festivals. Looking into the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games as a case in point I reflect on all that is lost to a mega-event if the world does not have the opportunity to gather and celebrate around it in a festive and inclusive Olympic city.
