About
Uplight invites you to a creative installation that offers you a space to breathe in the tumult of the city. Rest is a political act and we are protesting the expectations of capitalism and productivity. It’s not always easy to breathe. One of the cities productions is pollution, a stone’s throw away is Euston Road one of the most polluted roads in London. All around we are faced with pollution, indoor pollution and outdoor pollution.
This installation will be commenting on the importance of being able to breathe easily and recognising the violence inflicted and death caused by pollution especially on those already at risk. The installation offers rest in a city that is addicted to business, productivity and amusement. Come rest as a dissent from societal expectations. We will be creating a space to breathe and helping you to breathe through the pain. We will be offering rest in a city that is addicted to business, productivity and amusement. Come rest as a dissent from the societal expectations that surround us. We invite you to take a breath.
