Little Sun's Big Projects

Want to know how to create grafitti with sunlight? Or how it feels to form a chain of light around ancient icebergs? How about experiencing a whole theatre full of people making a synchonised dance with solar lamps? Little Sun creates an array of projects with our global partners – experience them here.

For those who couldn’t attend the launch of Little Sun at the Tate Modern, this is a great new short film in which to explore all of the Little Sun events in the summer of 2012.
