RECONNECTING BY LIGHT - SKLAD 2019

SKLAD remains as a symbolic bridge, a vivid link that unites art, technology, science, architecture, nature, past, present, and future, by using the language of light. In this year’s edition, we are presenting 26 local and international artists, musicians, artist collectives, performance groups and theater troupes who will create an immersive light path connecting distant points of Skopje Old Bazaar with the green oasis of the Skopje City Park. Around 20 locations are fascinating light points on this path, to offer visitors a thrilling experience with light artworks, interactive installations, light & music live acts, video mapping projections, and performances.

Follow the SKLAD light path starting from historical site of Kurshimli An through the picturesque streets of Skopje Old Bazaar, visit the impressive Daut Pasha’s Hamam, passing by the exciting architecture of the Opera house, walk the ancient Stone Bridge over the Vardar River, take a turn to the right into the avenue of trees, through the Parc de la Francophonie and right into the heart of Skopje City Park. Artist of SKLAD 2019 has created site-specific light works inspired by those iconic spots and their history.

SKLAD is the creative lightning that will affect the city of Skopje. The adventure has already started - at​ high speed and with passionate enthusiasm!

I am sincerely welcoming you all to the Skopje Light Art District 2019
