Outdoors at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park


Borealis – a festival of light
 and Maxin10sity have joined forces to create ‘Enlightenment,’ a Light Art event that will bring together the work of international projection artists in a powerful and timely display of peace, love, and solidarity.

The artworks created will be displayed on the facades of The Seattle Asian Art Museum and dozens of buildings in cities around the world. Working with the theme ‘Enlightenment’, artists were asked to create content that is meaningful to the current war in Ukraine. Over the past two weeks everyone donated many hours of artistic skills to bring this all together.

The show is curated by the producers of BOREALIS Festival of Light in Seattle, WA and Maxin10sity in Budapest, Hungary. Over 35 artists have contributed animations reflecting solidarity with the Ukrainians and oppressed people around the world.  This program will also be on display at the Seattle Center Armory throughout the weekend.

Locations where Enlightenment will be shown include:

Seattle, WA; Binghamton, NY; Boston, MA; Monterrey, Mexico; Costa Rica; Brazil; Bristol UK; Brussels; Belgium; Paris, France Bonn/Cologne; Germany; Lisbon/Porto; Portugal; Prague, Czech; Sopot, Poland; Oslo; Norway; Palermo; Rome, & Monz; Italy; Budapest; Hungary; Bucharest; Romania; Australia; Tokyo; Japan; Ibaraki / Mito City; Japan; Shizuoka / Fuji City Japan; Okinawa Island, Japan; Nagasaki, Japan; and Hiroshima, Japan.

In addition a special collection of art created by school children from Italy and Hungary will be shown. These touching images from the most innocent victims of war are striking visions of their world and the hopes of peace.
