Workshop: Beyond the Light: Luminous Narratives

The workshop uses projection as an artistic medium to make personal and social issues visible. For young people from 7th grade onwards Light is understood as a poetic and political tool, shaping stories, marking identities, and opening up hidden perspectives. Based on their own observations, memories, or questions, participants develop short concepts and decide which media they want to use: animation, video, still image, drawing, collage, stop-motion, or pure lighting. Subsequently, the projection plane is determined, a wall, an object, an architectural edge, or an unexpected surface in the room. During the joint working phase, short sequences, loopable fragments, or dense still compositions are created. The results are shown in a location-specific manner in the mobile experience space or flow as material into the digital environment that will be visible on uzwei during the festival, as moving textures, projected levels, or temporary light images in the urban space.
