Did you know a Super Lights Celebration is coming to Albany?!
This looks INCREDIBLE...
Lighting the Sound is set to transform the natural coastline and landmarks of the portside city of Albany/Kinjarling, into an immersive and meditative light experience over nine magical nights.
Presented by FORM and produced in collaboration with world-renowned Finnish light artist Kari Kola, and co-designed and led by Menang Elders and the Albany community, the lighting spectacular will be visible from key locations around the city of Albany.
The dramatic illumination of the landforms in and around King George Sound, will divert eyes and attention outward from the coast towards the life-giving source of the Southern Ocean, the focus of so much ancestral, cultural, ecological and historical meaning.
Lighting the Sound embodies the Menang-first approach and principles of reconciliation central to the Albany 2026 vision. Rooted in the wisdom of the Menang (or Bloodroot) plant, from which the region’s First Nations people take their name, this community-owned initiative celebrates tensof thousands of years of unbroken connection, creating the opportunity for Menang people to tell their story.
This Australian-first project honours a history that extends far beyond 200 years and is anticipated to be the largest light installation on Earth to date. Lighting the Sound sets a global benchmark for public art experiences grounded in story and place.
Albany/Kinjarling is located on Menang Country in the south-west of Western Australia.
The regional city can be reached via a short flight, a four-and-a-half hour road trip by car or six-hour journey by road coach from Perth.
