The light installation was created at the Institute of Intermedia of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague and has long been one of the building’s distinctive visual features. As part of the Light for AIDS project, it was illuminated in red — the colour symbolising solidarity with people living with HIV and those affected by AIDS.
This year, other prominent buildings and institutions across the Czech Republic also joined the project, including the Dancing House and the Žižkov Television Tower in Prague, the Moravian Theatre Olomouc, and the historic town hall in Liberec. In the Czech Republic, the event has been organised for the thirteenth consecutive year by the Czech AIDS Help Society.
The global motto of this year’s edition is: “Together we remember, together we heal, through love and solidarity!” The project highlights not only the need to support people living with HIV, but also the fact that HIV remains an important public health issue.
