Westfield London today unveils Here We Glow, an inspiring light experience designed to brighten the season and uplift visitors’ spirits. Running from 23rd January to 2nd March, this free-to-visit attraction will feature eight captivating installations, including five created by acclaimed UK and international artists—some showcased in the UK for the very first time.
Set to be London’s must-see winter attraction, the artworks have been curated for their innovative designs, uplifting themes, and use of sustainable materials, promising to delight culture enthusiasts of all ages as well as fans of art and design.
Among the standout installations are the Anooki, a breathtaking display of two Inuit-inspired characters. Designed by French artists David Passegand and Moetu Batlle, these globally renowned figures have lit up iconic locations such as the Fête des Lumières in Lyon and Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Symbolising the delicate balance of our planet’s ecosystems, the playful yet poignant Anooki make their UK debut at Here We Glow, offering visitors a thought-provoking and visually stunning experience.
Additionally, British artist Liz West will debut an exclusive new commission called Visible Light that draws inspiration from Westfield London’s iconic architecture, transforming light into a breathtaking kaleidoscopic journey. Westfield Square will also play host to Evanescent, a larger-than-life 8m bubble artwork by Atelier Sisu, which invites visitors to walk underneath and among the vibrant multi-coloured bubble structures whilst accompanied by an ethereal soundscape.
Laura Waters, General Manager, Westfield London said: “We are excited to launch Here We Glow at Westfield London this winter. This extraordinary celebration of light and art provides a unique opportunity to engage with our community and make art accessible to all. With standout installations like the Anooki, making their London debut, and an exclusive new commission from British artist Liz West, we are excited to showcase creativity and innovation that will brighten the winter season and offer an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.”
