Lightworks

Sitting somewhere between Stussy and Mind, eott is a Brighton-based mental health project with a growing, devoted following – and deservedly so. Their mission is to normalise the conversation around our minds, raising awareness and funds for good causes through the curation of relative means such as fashion, visual arts and words.

Expect all of the above in our Dreamy Place Launch programme, with a trade show-style event spotlighting local talent, including live demonstrations by a local martial arts gym and a selection of curated short films programmed by Lighthouse Young Creatives alumni: Erin James, Hazel Davis and Lara Antoine.

The afternoon will culminate with an engaging ‘group therapy session’ talk, featuring collaborators and members of the public.

Lightworks is part of the wider programme of Dreamy Place Launch Programme delivered by Lighthouse.

Dreamy Place Launch Event

Lighthouse previously ran Brighton Digital Festival (BDF) before it evolved into Dreamy Place. Maintaining its origins of grassroots collaboration and talent in the city, we have curated an exciting launch programme bringing together past curators of BDF along with some new talent in the city.

The 12-hour programme of back-to-back events includes a pioneering series of talks, interviews, film screenings, dance, and performance activities devoted to exploring and pushing the boundaries of digital space and the possibilities of play and human connection.

Our contributors include Lighthouse Young Creatives, eott, Amartey Golding, Tarik Elmoutawakil, GUAN, LimboLimbs and comedian Charlie George.

Join us in our collective celebration of the new vision and directorship of the festival format.

Together with the audience, they’ll attempt to tackle the impossible task of delivering a new national anthem for England.
