Social projects
Support for medical workers during the lockdown
In 2020, during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Ukraine, Expolight launched a social project in support of medical workers. The team also helped establish a charitable foundation to raise funds for their treatment. As part of the campaign, a number of landmarks in Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro were illuminated in red and white, colours associated with medicine. The campaign was intended to draw attention to the issue and direct potential donors to the project website.[45]
Campaign for International Rare Disease Day
In 2021, as part of the global observance of International Rare Disease Day, Expolight, in partnership with the civic union Rare Diseases of Ukraine, organized the campaign There Are Many with Rare Diseases! Rare Means Strong!. Over a period of ten days, 16 buildings in five Ukrainian cities – Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Dnipro, and Mariupol – were illuminated in the symbolic colours associated with the day: blue, green, and pink.[46][47]
The Unity Day
On 16 February 2022, the Expolight team took part in the state campaign marking the Unity Day by illuminating a number of its projects across Ukraine in blue and yellow.[48] In Dnipro, the Dnipro Light Flowers installation was illuminated in the national colours. The installation is equipped with 5,500 light pixels and lasers with a range of up to 10 kilometres.[49] The light art installation on five former factory chimneys formed the world’s largest Ukrainian flag.[9]
