Evening Program: Light + Justice in St. Louis
Missouri Foundation for Health 4254 Vista Avenue, St. Louis, United StatesEveryone deserves good lighting and beneficial darkness. – LightJustice.org We are excited to partner with the National Society of Black Engineers – Gateway Chapter for a dynamic exploration of lighting equity in St. Louis. REGISTER NOW The ongoing movement in the lighting industry known as Light + Justice is the inspiration for our February program. Launched in November of 2020, the Light Justice movement seeks to raise awareness about lighting disparities and actively works to implement quality lighting in historically under-resourced communities through a process of stakeholder respect and engagement. Our speaker for this program, Lisa J. Reed, Principal of RBLD in St. Louis, has been a supporter of this movement through speaking engagements and committee work in various lighting organizations, and is excited to facilitate the launch of this conversation locally. This program aims to shine a light on lighting equity in St. Louis. Lisa will introduce the topic and provide a primer on key lighting issues which impact public-realm lighting (color, glare, light levels, consistency, visual clutter.) Then she will lead a panel discussion about the impact of light on streets and neighborhoods (light pollution, light and health, safety, and the importance of community engagement.) Our esteemed panelists… Continue Reading Evening Program: Light + Justice in St. Louis

Lunch Break – Light + Justice: Interiors
Virtual Event via ZoomREGISTER NOW Everyone deserves good lighting and beneficial darkness, especially indoors, where most of us spend most of our time; yet indoor lighting quality, particularly in public facilities, is generally neglected for marginalized, under-resourced, and vulnerable occupants. Lighting professionals have a unique opportunity to understand and address inequities that disproportionately diminish visual quality for people of color, the aging, the impaired, and the incarcerated. This lunchtime program builds on the Light + Justice discussion of our February 13 Evening Program, exploring how lighting disparity shows up in interior environments. LightJustice.org co-founder Lya Osborn and St. Louis interior designer Shelley Satke join us to discuss this important topic, sharing insights into the lighting and interior design approaches that can extend the benefits of quality lighting to all building users. FEATURED SPEAKERS: Lya Shaffer Osborn is a multidisciplinary designer, writer, and advocate for design justice. She is a co-founder of LightJustice.org, a community resource for addressing the social impact of lighting. She also serves as the North America Regional Director for Unolai Lighting Design, where for the past seven years, she has contributed to a wide range of projects and award-winning design efforts on both sides of the Pacific. Lya received a double… Continue Reading Lunch Break – Light + Justice: Interiors
