Abstract

On May 26th, 2018, the Lights On! project delivered a new experiment exploring the heritage sites of the islands of Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari, just outside Helsinki. The project was developed in collaboration between Nina Luostarinen (Lights On!/Humak) and Anthony Schrag (Queen Margaret University), and developed around their shared interest in ‘Play’ and ‘Place Relationships’. The collaboration was highly productive, and often felt more like fun than work, which replicated in the project itself.
