About the project
Joanna is working on a project called Kiez-Licht (neighbourhood Light). The idea is to use projections in urban spaces to display thoughts and reflections from people in different neighbourhoods in Berlin. Kiez-Licht is an exploratory project aiming to tie people together through locality as well as human emotion and experience.The project encourages people to consider their connection and feelings to where they live/work and the people they share these spaces with.
