No less than FOUR Event & Experience Design students from the School of Music & Fine Art have been awarded paid apprenticeships to work on the prestigious London Lumiere this weekend. The students with apprenticeships are: Charlotte Harding Year 3, Shu Xin Wong (Sushi) Year 2, Greta Pencheva Year 2, and Elaiza Santos Ferreira Year 1.
Described as the biggest-ever light festival to hit the capital, the event is produced by Artichoke, a creative company that works with artists ‘to invade our public spaces and put on extraordinary and ambitious events that live in the memory forever.’ Supported by the Mayor of London, for four evenings in January a host of international artists will illuminate the city from 18.30pm to 22.30 each night.
Discover iconic architecture transformed with 3D projections, interactive installations and other extraordinary light works in a programme that responds to the unique architecture of each location. Lumiere London 2016 is spread across four of London’s most exciting areas: King’s Cross; Mayfair; Piccadilly, Regent Street and St James’s; and Trafalgar Square and Westminster.
Kate Harvey, an Artichoke Producer, will be visiting the School of Music & Fine Art to talk to EED 1st Year students this term.
