At first I was all...
And then I was like -
And now I'm all
"There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle"
- Robert Alden
"When you possess light within, you see it externally."
- Anais Nin
"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."
- Aristotle Onasis
This Melbourne festival brings together artists,
designers, architects, filmmakers and multicultural groups in a free,
month-long program of light sculptures, talks, events, workshops,
performances and the Solstice Celebration. This year’s program, directed by
Robyn Archer, is inspired by the
National Year of the Reading and will celebrate the enlightenment that
reading sheds
on our lives. Literary texts, oral traditions, calligraphy, music, body
art and braille are all viewed in a new light, along with imaginative
light sculptures, and surprising collaborations from top international
and local artists, designers and architects. This morning on the river terrace I enjoyed
cBraillie by Rob Caslick. Located in a
shipping container, cBraille focuses on emotions as the direct link
between visitors and a visually impaired person.
