Not all Lighting is Equal

Light Privilege is a framework for thinking about equity in the illuminated environment.

Accepting that privilege exists becomes the imperative for identifying, understanding and working to counteract the systemic mechanisms of inequity. Light Privilege seeks to ensure that all communities have access to the beauty and possibilities of light. 

Tools for Better Light

  • Understanding all the ways that light intersects life.

  • Talking about privilege and its role in our illuminated experiences.

  • Confronting the ways that light has been used in systems of racism and oppression.

  • Correlating a modern understanding of light and health to the impacts of good and bad lighting.

  • Developing a method of thinking to address light and privilege in design.
