Glass, Meet the Future

UK in Japan 2019-20 is a major bilateral campaign that will start in September 2019 at the same time as the Rugby World Cup. It will close in September 2020 with the culmination of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. The British Council will lead on cultural activities in Japan, bringing in work from across the UK in collaboration with a range of partners. At the same time the Japanese government will lead on reciprocal activity in the UK.

North Lands Creative will lead on the inaugural Glass, Meet the Future Film Festival to showcase at the Toyama Glass Art Museum in May – June 2020.
