-Linh will look for places with echoes and / or places high above the ground with a wide view of the city. As angels / bats / threatened species / lost souls / guardians / spirits, Linh together with others will stand high above the ground - on buildings - or other places - with distance to each other - and scream loudly to make everyone listen to the survival of bat species and other nocturnal species who are threatened by the increased light pollution.
-Linh Le is also looking for people to connect with and is passionate about building bridges between the art community, the nature / environment community and the activist community and combining these forces to create social change. In solidarity and respect for life, we need to insist on a liveable planet where all humans and other species are not only surviving but living and thriving.
