LIGHTING DESIGN PROJECTS
Google Stephanie Anne Johnson and you’ll likely find a Wikipedia page written about her as both visual artist and lighting designer. The Afro Urban Society wanted to know a little more about her than a Wikipedia entry. After all, Wikipedia won’t tell you that she is a biblio-holic with a house filled with books. Or that she wants Black folks to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE and run for elected and policy-making commissions and committees. Or that she is one of very few professional Black lighting designers in California.

"Stephanie Anne Johnson’s lighting and Theodore J.H. Hulsker’s video effects, conjuring sudden blackouts and eerie blue rivers, make the actors’ sudden entrances gripping and impressive."
"And we learn a lot from them, while a white printer on a cross-shaped white shelf spits out a long, long list of Black victims." ~ Review by Jesse Marley & Barry David Horwitz |
