This year at Kyoto Experiment we will finally welcome back international artists to present their work live in Kyoto. We will offer an opportunity to experience works that are currently at the forefront of experimental artistic expression. Despite this, we are facing a number of unprecedented difficulties that have been caused by the effects of covid, Kyoto City’s administrative and financial reforms and current international affairs. Due to this we have decided to launch our first crowdfunding campaign to help raise funds for this year’s festival. In a world which is increasingly online and in which everything can be accessed in a click, we want to provide a live experience. We believe there is something important that can be shared in this experience and we want to create a platform to ensure this continues. Covid has also been an opportunity for us to rethink our relationships with one another in different ways. Our staff are working hard to prepare a festival program in which audiences can gather in a way we believe is meaningful now.

Please consider donating to our campaign. Click below for further details and how to donate.
