SATURDAY 2/9/2019 @ KC GRAD, 6PM – 8PM
How do we imagine the light interventions and illumination in our city, what we can do differently and on what this depends? These questions we will consider with students, artists, engineers, architects, and all interested citizens together on Light walk + discussion led by the Belgrade Lighting Detectives.
In the light walk of February 2nd, in company of the professionals, but also amateurs, enthusiasts and light lovers, we will capture the light identity of the city by visiting jointly chosen locations; While the impressions, observations, suggestions and critics will be presented on the discussion open for the public on February 9 at the Cultural Center GRAD.
Belgrade Lighting Detectives were established in 2006 as the seventh “lighting branch office” of the Transnational Lighting Detectives, founded in 1990 by Japanese lighting designer Kaoru Mende.
