THE LIBRARY OF LIGHT
BRINGING NEW KNOWLEDGE TO LIFE
THE
LIBRARY
OF LIGHT
We make site specific installations that run the gamut of writers, intellectuals, feminists, athletes, philosophers and inventors who have made tremendous contributions to our every day narrative.
This is a celebration of the richness of our common history, rather a celebration and recognition of those who have contributed to society at large.
It is continous project that ebbs and flows, based on our research and development.

AND MANY MORE
History has taken a back seat. We deem history as a given; as that which has happened and we have to wade through the drudgery of the classroom of our adolescence. But whose story is (his)story in actual fact?
Bottles Icons seek to instantly satisfy those who are in the industries of performance, theatre, science, politics, music and every day super hero's. So wheter you're a music lover, theatre goer, movie buff or a nerd. There's something for everybody.
THE
PAN-
ALPHABET
The Pan-Alphabet seeks to bring new knowledge to life, spanning the whole african diaspora. So, from all the continents we seek to edit and annotate old & new research with regards to invention, activism, feminism, philantrophism, politics, scientific discoveries, and all mentioned above.
In short the Pan-alphabet seeks to create an alternative to the western vision and application of history.
Rather than erasing history we seek to add to the narrative that is called history.
The Library of Light is a project by Raul Balai & Femi Dawkins, the first edition took place in 2013.
