Artist and eco-feminist designer Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian, is the headline artist of Art After Dark this March, the late-night arts programme created by cultural initiative Art of London. Set to inspire locals and tourists across Leicester Square to Piccadilly Circus, the artist has aptly named her project Piccadilly Un:Plugged. This three-night spectacle, which takes place in London, combines experiential elements to explore the cosmos during “galaxy season,” when distant galaxies are most visible. It also happens to align with International Women’s Day on March 8th and preempts the upcoming Lunar Eclipse five days later. Considering Nelly’s dedication to space and amplifying traditionally marginalized voices, we can’t help but wonder if the stars were aligned for this one.
