Nottingham Light Night Installation 2025

I am collaborating with multiple folks from my course to create an interactive light installation for Nottingham Light Night. It's the first time we've run an open workshop together but I feel confident because of my background as a teacher and community arts practitioner.

We plan to collaborate with each other and the general public to create a multi media, multi layered light installation that will fill the lower gallery space of Stoney Street. We will focus on using found or recycled materials and making the activities accessible, whimsical and fun.

After a small number of us tested our initial idea successfully, we resourced a wider selection of hardware and other equipment, and met with a bigger group in the evening to make use of the early light and develop our plans.

I met with the internal coordinator for Nottingham College light night to secure us some budget and to collaborate with the health and safety aspects of our plan, including the risk assessment.
