Light from the Middle East

Poster for Light from the Middle East, a live, online fundraising event that was held on September 16th, 2021.

Our live, online fundraising event Light from the Middle East was a huge success! Thanks to our generous sponsors, donors and ticket-buyers we raised $23,000 for our program Light for Lebanon, to bring solar-powered lighting to Beirut.

We thank our generous sponsors from the Middle East: our Shining Sponsor Huda Lighting who got the ball rolling on our event, our Silver Sponsors Debbas Group and Traxon, our Bronze Sponsors Lutron and Nulty, and our donors Studio Mark and LuxBuro. We cannot do this important work without your generous support.

Thank you to the amazingly talented Mayssa Karaa for joining us and for sharing your special song for Lebanon — we all had goosebumps! Click here for the music video to Ta’aa and be inspired.

Our collaboration with Temporary Art Platform that was up Aug. 27 – Sept.5 was a great illustration of the synthesis of creativity and sustainability for building resilience and community. We illuminated the Beirut RiverLESS Forest urban afforestation project to create a magical setting for 10 days of artistic installations, film screenings and live performances on a stage built from repurposed billboards.

LEAD WITH LIGHT

WILD panel poster with headshots of panelists

Is light a basic human right? Do you want to learn about social engagement through lighting? Do you want to help communities facing darkness? Women in Lighting and Design hosted this stellar panel on September 9th, but if you missed it, you can still purchase a ticket here to access the recording. Our panelists spoke about their important work in this arena: Francesca Bastianini on Gowanus Lighting Project, Leela Shanker on “Open“, Nathalie Rozot on Light Reach and Manal Kahale on Light for Lebanon. The panel was moderated by the inimitable Sam Koerbel of Lytei. All ticket proceeds benefit Light for Lebanon — help us re-illuminate Beirut!
