SUMMARY:Leni Schwendinger   Civic Solidarity DeathLAB - Death and the Night
DESCRIPTION:June 3\, 2025 6pm – 8pm\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St\n(enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY \nFREE \nTo Register for Event: Civic Solidarity \nClick to enlarge DeathLAB is pleased to announce another New York Community Trust-sponsored Civic Solidarity event\, hosted at Westbeth Artists Housing in collaboration with Urban Lighting and nighttime designer Leni Schwedinger.  \nThe event will bring together two approaches to encouraging community and equity through civic design\, each running through essential aspects of life that too often remain marginalized: death and the night.  \nThis Civic Solidarity event consists of a 20-minute presentation by two of DeathLAB’s research fellows\, reviewing the lab’s philosophy\, research\, and urban proposals\, including new engagement with Green-Wood Cemetery. \nLeni Schwendinger’s talk\, “Are You Afraid of the Dark\, A Light Justice Approach” will walk us through nighttime design and lighting strategies she has developed over decades of practice that include community engagement. \nShare your thoughts\, hopes\, and questions about disposition and memorialization\, both personal and societal. \nLeni Schwendinger \, Westbeth resident\, is a multi-disciplinary designer focusing on lighting and community engagement. Her projects include lighting cities\, bridges\, parks\, and waterfronts. Her work is deeply rooted in community engagement through synthesizing communal approaches to outdoor illumination\, on-site lighting workshops\, and her NightSeeing™ program\, where she leads nighttime walks through urban spaces around the world. The walks raise awareness about the fear and poetics of the darkened hours to improve the nighttime environment\, especially for women and night-shifters.
