Albany 2026
LIGHTING THE SOUND is part of a series of events called "Balgang Albany".
Presented by FORM and produced in collaboration with world-renowned Finnish light artist Kari Kola, co-designed and led by Menang Elders and the Albany community, Lighting the Sound will transform Albany’s natural coastline and landmarks into an immersive and meditative light experience over three weekends. Visible from key locations around the Albany townsite, 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 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 tens of 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.
