Event Details
1.6 billion people in the world, more than 25%, live in energy poverty, and thus in “lighting poverty.” With no access to electricity, they light their homes with kerosene lanterns or wood fires, filling their homes with dangerous smoke that is unhealthy and unsafe. The use of kerosene in particular is also inefficient, expensive, and harmful to the environment.
The Lighting The Developing World Symposium is intended to raise awareness of the need for, and create a dialog about lighting in the developing world. In addition to presenting an overview of conditions in the developing world, a number of presenters will offer different perspectives about bringing lighting to various locations. We will also exhibit some of the lighting technologies that are currently being deployed or are intended for the developing world, along with a display of student work from a Parsons MFA Lighting Design seminar class held the past two years focusing on this topic. The symposium will culminate in a session where participants can lend their voices to this initiative. The day will conclude with a reception to recognize the supporters of Lighting The Developing World, including attendees, speakers, and exhibitors.
The symposium is tied in with a “social mission” trip to Peru in July for New School students to deliver and install solar-powered lighting systems for a village high in the Andes mountains. The trip is being planned in cooperation with and organized by the Light Up The World organization (http://lutw.org).
Registration for the symposium is free. If you wish to contribute to the Lighting The Developing World initiative in general or the Peru trip specifically, contributions may be sent to the LIGHTING THE DEVELOPING WORLD fund through the Office of Development, The New School, 79 Fifth Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10003. Questions or comments may be sent to:berneckc@newschool.edu.
