With sixteen site-specific art installations activating the landscape, visitors will be free to wander, discover, and immerse themselves in the play of light and the stories that each artwork tells – an embodied reminder of art’s transformative power to illuminate even the darkest corners of our world and minds. The exhibition ignites fresh sparks and interchange between local and visiting artists and audiences from the continent and the world at large.
The exhibition is a family-friendly event that is free to the public. All the artworks are exhibited outside so the best time to visit is at dusk, when the sun goes down and the lights come up. Bring your family and friends for a night-time adventure of illuminating art, fresh farm air, good wine and hearty food.
