ILO, International Light Festivals Organisation

I was elected a first serving president of ILO. My goal is to found, conceptualise and start the smooth running of the whole organization.

For over three years, the International Light festival Organization (ILO) has been uniting European and worldwide light festivals. The ILO members are the core element which makes the Organization an open, influential, international place for any light festival that wants to be a part of a light festival community.

Light festivals have been working together internationally since the very first developments of light festivals. ILO brings light festivals together to inspire one another, to foster an exchange of knowledge, to help the festivals with ideas , to search for solutions, increase networking opportunities, and keep festivals informed about issues at stake in the festival and cultural world. All from a viewpoint of artistic excellence and internationalization.
