D&AD x SIGHTSAVERS

Light Installation 2018 

Collaboration with Abi Daker and Sightsavers. Sightsavers is an international non-governmental organisation that works with partners in developing countries to treat and prevent avoidable blindness and promote equality for people with visual impairments and other disabilities.

The installation was developed as part of D&AD at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch. Inside the space audiences are immersed in RGB light projections that interact with large-format illustrations. When the light changes colour a new story is revealed. Through dynamic storytelling audiences are invited to experience visual impairment in developing countries. The work is accompanied by recordings of the lived experiences of communities in a Bangladeshi hospital, a village in Nigeria, and a classroom in Senegal.
