As part of this season’s campaign, WUAS is partnering with artist Sho Shibuya to expand his celebrated Sunrises from a Small Window series. In this new project, Shibuya will create a daily visual record of the night sky from his apartment window, painting gradients and recording the number of stars visible each evening on the front pages of The New York Times. This collaboration seeks to raise awareness about urban light pollution and its impact on celestial visibility, serving as a visual diary that highlights the gradual loss of our connection to the cosmos.

Urban billboards feature side-by-side infographics that starkly contrast what city dwellers currently see in the night sky with what they could witness in a dark sky environment.

The Lights Off workshop and seminar will offer participants insights into the impact of artificial lighting on the environment and health, along with practical solutions for reducing light pollution in their communities. Attendees will engage in interactive sessions to design low-light outdoor spaces, create effective lighting plans, and measure light pollution, empowering them to implement meaningful changes locally.
