Students invited to take part in once-in-a-lifetime festival of creativity
The University of Salford is proud to support Walk the Plank on the Green Space Dark Skies project as part of UNBOXED, a celebration of creativity taking place across the UK in 2022.
Green Space Dark Skies invites 20,000 people, from all paths in life, to make a journey into the landscape together. There, we will illuminate wild and beautiful places across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as dusk falls. Open to all, each mass gathering celebrates nature, our responsibility to protect it and everyone’s right to explore the countryside.
From April to September thousands of people will become Lumenators, carrying special lights designed by Siemens at up to 20 different secret locations. There, we will create art outdoors, recorded by film and photography.
Students from across the University are invited to get involved with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Excitingly, are lots of ways you can get involved, including the placements below. To find out more about ways you can participate in Green Space Dark Skies please contact Gemma Brown at g.a.brown@salford.ac.uk.
