Enlightenment: Durham International Light Festival 2008
Coming this week is Enlightenment: The Durham International Light Festival. I’ve seen this advertised around town and, although I’m not entirely sure what to expect, am really looking forward to it. According to the festival’s official website:
Enlightenment is a stunning and truly international light festival celebrating Durham’s religious and industrial heritage. Four new light-based artworks show Durham as viewed through the eyes of two very different cultures. The installations are a fusion of cultural identities, creative styles and methods of working. The individual pieces take their inspiration from the sacred texts, iconic images and traditions of Durham and a number of Eastern societies.
I will try to take photos when the festival comes and post those here.
