Conceived and produced together with TBA21 – Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in Vienna, ‘Green light – An artistic workshop’ invited refugees, asylum seekers, and members of the public to participate in a multifaceted programme of creativity and shared learning. The programme included a workshop for the construction of green light lamps, language courses, seminars, artist’s interventions, and film screenings. This video was made at TBA21–Augarten, Vienna, in 2016, where the project began, before travelling to Houston, Texas, and ‘Viva Arte Viva’, the 57th Biennale di Venezia.
