The House of World Cultures (Haus der Kulturen der Welt: HKW) of Berlin is a government organization established in 1989 for the purpose of introducing non-European culture in Germany. Since then it has presented a wide range of cultural programs for the people of Germany. This August, a large-scale renovation of the HKW facilities will be completed and its programs will launch anew under the direction of Bernd Scherer. We spoke with Mr. Scherer about the new face of the HKW. Interviewer: Fumiko Toda, at the Japan Foundation, March 14, 2007
