"COLORS IN BETWEEN"

organized by the department of exhibition design & scenography, the HfG invites everyone to join a talk with Raquel Roildete on June 10th at 17:15 Uhr / 5.15 pm at our Lichtbrücke (bridge) at HfG Karlsruhe.

In her presentation, the Lighting Designer Raquel Rosildete will share her research project called Colors in Between. In her ongoing artistic research, Raquel constantly questions and experiments with stage lighting for People of Color, and aims to understand how the design and technical choices are also biased by racism. How can a lighting designer, committed with anti racist practices, make design choices that respect the differences on the stage and use those differences as the basis of the design? Raquel proposes lighting design in which the performer on the stage and the story of their skin is the basis of the creative process. For more information: https://www.colorsinbetween.com/
