Turn Off the Lights, Turn On the Sky

Step into an interactive artwork where science and art come together to uncover one of the most overlooked forms of pollution: light pollution. Explore a wooden map of Malta illuminated by more than 30 glowing points that represent the island’s brightest areas. Then, with the simple flip of a switch, watch the lights fade and hidden constellations appear across the island.

This surprising transformation reveals what excessive artificial light takes away from us every night: the stars above, healthier ecosystems, and a better environment for both people and wildlife.

Take part in the experience, discover how light pollution affects your daily life, and join our accompanying talk to learn why this growing environmental issue deserves more attention. You may never look at the night sky—or your streetlights—the same way again.

Turn off the lights. Turn on the sky.
