In this public program, speakers will present lighting design work for public interest that range from ongoing projects in informal settlements in Haiti to participatory workshops in low-income housing environments.

In a panel following the presentations, speakers will debate the role that socially-engaged lighting design practices play and how lighting education can support a stronger social culture in practice and discourse in the field of lighting design.

This is the first of two Parsons School of Constructed Environments events held at Parsons for the International Year of Light (IYL2015).

Cost: Free; No tickets or reservations required.
