    Lunch Break – Light + Justice: Interiors

    Virtual Event via Zoom

    REGISTER 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.

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.
