Lights in Alingsås announces its 2025 workshop heads
(Sweden) – The workshop heads for the 2025 edition of Lights in Alingsås have been announced.
The eight selected lighting professionals recently gathered for the three-day concept meeting for the 2025 edition. Two out of eight are experiencing Lights in Alingsås for the first time, three are returning for their second time, while three former students return as leaders.
This year’s workshop heads include Phillip Rose, Associate Partner at Speirs Majors Light Architecture; Amardeep Dugar, architect, lighting designer and researcher; Christina Mordeglia, architect and lighting designer at Beersnielsen; Sjoerd van Beers, Co-Founder of Beersnielsen; Meta Romanens, lighting specialist and teacher at Hochschule Luzern; Niken Wulandri Sutanto, freelance architect and lighting designer; Roberto Corradini, independent architect and lighting designer; and Isabel Villar, Senior Lighting Designer at White Arkitekter.
Over the weekend, the lighting designers learned about the organisation behind the event, explored this year’s theme, and selected their preferred lighting locations. They presented their ideas to the event board, which will be developed further during the workshop with participants and students.
A familiar lighting designer for Lights in Alingsås is Roberto Corradini, coming back for the third time. He looks forward to meeting the participants during the workshop this fall.
Philip Rose of Speirs Major Light Architecture, known for his prestigious projects, joins for his first Lights in Alingsås.
Niken Wulandari Sutanto and Meta Romanens first met in 2016 while studying at the same university (Wismar, Germany). They happened to choose the same site in the Lights in Alingsås workshop that year and worked closely together during that week. Since then, Niken and Meta have kept in touch sporadically.
They met for the first time since 2016 at Light + Building 2024, where the seed was planted for applying together as Workshop Heads. This is now their first project together.
Sutanto says: “It’s nice to be back again in Alingsås, working together. So far, we have agreed on many things, like site selection, concept, etc. We are very much alike,”
Frida Almqvist, Workshop Manager says: “Lights in Alingsås is an extraordinary platform for collaboration and creativity. It is an honour to bring together such a talented group of professionals who will inspire and guide this year’s participants.”
