The Light in Winter 2012

The Light in Winter is a yearly festival in Melbourne celebrating the Winter Solstice. Local and international artists, designers, architects, filmmakers and multicultural groups come together to create a month-long program of light sculptures, talks, events, workshops, and performances.
