Organisation and Governance
The Tomoko Mukaiyama Foundation was founded in April 2007. The foundation supports new forms of music presentations and connects this to other contemporary art forms like architecture, dance, film, visual arts, photography and fashion. It is of great importance to the foundation that these presentations are accessible to a wide audience in The Netherlands and abroad. The artistic director seeks collaborations with other artists, academic institutions and communities to achieve this. The creations often reflect our modern society and engage social issues. The artistic force behind the Foundation is Tomoko Mukaiyama. She is equally active in Japan and The Netherlands; developing a unique artistic language and network through and with her foundation.
