Workshop Overview

Part of the 5th edition of the "Lost City Poetry Path" micro old-city wandering arts festival, this workshop invites participants to explore the relationship between our city and the sea through the medium of light. In Macau, a city surrounded by the sea on three sides, our daily environment is filled with fascinating objects and architectural structures that stimulate creative thought.

This workshop will guide participants in discovering every corner of the community. Through lighting and installation design, you will learn to deepen, present, or amplify the characteristics of specific environments and locations.
