Diary entry on the conflicting arguments for and against hosting mega-events at pandemic times

Tokyo 2020 & Collective Euphoria | To Rejoice or not to Rejoice

Sharing two decades of observations on the impact &amp; 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?
