International ONLINE masterclass focused on how artistic lighting can create cultural, emotional, and urban value while embracing sustainability, ethics, and environmental responsibility.

Promoted by Clúster d’il luminación de Catalunya (CICAT) as part of the European project SHAPE-THE-LIGHT, this Masterclass brings together leading voices in Light Art, lighting design, and the culture of darkness, combining theory, real projects, and critical reflection on the use of light in public space.

📅 Date: March 25th, 2026
⏱ Duration: 3 hours (including a 15-minute break and a 20-minute final Q&A session)
🕒 Time: 15:00 h
💻 Format: ONLINE / English

Speakers and topics:

• Sophya Acosta – Light Art introduction: theory, language, and evolution.

• Maurici Ginés – Light Art showcase: projects, processes, and learnings in public space.

• Chiara Carucci – Light polution: science, ethics, and creative responsibility.
  
  

The masterclass explores Light Art as a narrative language, the real implications of light pollution, darkness as a creative value, and sustainability as a catalyst for innovation rather than a constraint.

Designed for lighting designers, artists, architects, urban planners, public authorities, and creative professionals seeking to shape a more responsible and sustainable culture of light.
