Arts Initiative Tokyo (AIT) will hold an online talk event on January 25, 2024, titled “Exploring Diverse Minds and Expressions Through the Music and Spirit Inspiration Program.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2016, AIT has initiated the dearMe Project, providing programs where diverse children and youth engage in shared experiences and learning through art. In recent years, dearMe have expanded the focus through collaborations with organizations and experts both domestically and internationally, evolving into programs that explore the intersection of art, mental health, and neurodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, dearMe have launched the collaborative program “Collective Amazements Troupe (CAT)*1” with organizations from Japan and the Netherlands. This program involves visiting museums with neurodiverse members, engaging in art appreciation (Inspiration Tours), and creating opportunities for artistic expression based on those experiences.
This talk serves as a reporting event for this year’s program, following last year’s “Art and Mental Health” talk. We are pleased to invite collaborative organizations from the Netherlands and Japan as guest speakers: Jolien Posthumus, Mental Health Program Manager at the Museum of the Mind in the Netherlands, and Tetsu Akaogi from the collaborative group “atelier A” in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
