Together

Path between Vestdijk and Kanaalstraat

During the dark hours of the evening, you may sometimes experience an eerie feeling, such as fear or vigilance. In any case, it can be unpleasant. Especially unlit places in the city or along the route can evoke these emotions. The light artwork Together by the students of SintLucas is about that experience, and with this project, they aim to raise awareness about feeling safe on the streets. Together is a statement to create a society where everyone feels comfortable on the streets. It is something we can all work on together, as Fong from SintLucas aptly puts it: “Everyone should feel safe at all times of the day.”

Together consists of six unique figures placed in a circle. These figures represent the diversity on the streets, symbolize unity, and encourage you and other visitors to come together. When you touch one of these figures, the entire circle responds with a play of light and rhythm. It symbolizes the power of interaction and how we can all have an impact on others and the community as a whole; together, we ensure a sense of safety for everyone. Together shows that we are stronger when we care for each other and invites you to connect, make friends, and create a sense of togetherness. First at GLOW, then on the streets!
