Yuka Tokuyama is a curator and researcher in contemporary art, based in Hamburg, Germany.
Tokuyama’s recent curatorial projects are follows: “Japaner im Revier (Japanese in Ruhr region)” by Naho Kawabe and “Aesthetics of Games” with Hiroshi Yoshida and Jérémie Cortial, a research project on the theory and practice of digital games and art. Since 2024 she is a member of a research group “Counter-memories” (lead by Prof. Kae Ishii) in the Institute for the Study of Humanities and Social Sciences, Doshisha University. Her interest in relating art with societal issues appears in such an interdisciplinary approach as research and workshops.

After participating in the curatorial division in the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan, Tokuyama left to France with a fellowship from the ministry of culture in Japan. She received her MA in art history from Waseda University, Tokyo and also in sociology from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris.
Her previous works contain Harald Szeemann: Individual Methodology, co-edited by Derieux et al. (Grenoble/ Zurich, 2007).
