The Illuminator CARE 2025
The Illuminator
Sunday
12–4pm
14th Street Park, W 14th Street and Tenth Avenue
Anxieties are high for 2025. Through public dialogue and obscured video recordings, this project aims to stimulate discussion and reflection, seeking to understand what those anxieties are for individuals who find themselves at 14th Street before dusk. By posing questions to willing participants, The Illuminator will investigate people's concerns, desires, and hopes for 2025 while sharing public space ahead of an impending election. Obscured video recorded responses will appear on trees in an attempt to stimulate discussion among viewers.
theilluminator.orgThe Illuminator is an art-activist collective of visual artists, educators, filmmakers, and technologists living and working in New York City. The collective has staged hundreds of projection-interventions in public spaces, transforming the street from a space of passive consumption and transit into a site of engagement, conflict, and dialogue. Their work calls attention to the many urgent crises that confront us, supporting the ongoing struggle for a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
