The Mori Contemporary Art Foundation (MoriCAF) offers a residency program for curators with an interest in Japanese contemporary art. The program selects distinguished curators from outside Japan and provides opportunities for them to conduct research and interact with artists, researchers, museums, exhibitions and festivals, galleries, and alternative spaces in Japan, and so contribute to the international dissemination of Japanese contemporary art. Selected curators are provided with financial support to undertake research as well as assistance with coordinating their projects. Prior to the end of the residency, participants are expected to present the results of their research.
