This project uses streetlights with a stencil and lens to cast light projections onto the ground.
These display symbols or information such as emergency numbers and are meant to draw attention to the (in)security of FLINTA* persons in public spaces.
The intervention creates visible “safe spaces” and emphasizes that existing light alone is not enough.
Its aim is to highlight structural safety gaps and spark discussions about protection in urban environments.
