Approximately 2 billion people worldwide lack access to electricity. Sheila Kennedy's Portable Light project brings together ancient textile weaving techniques and contemporary solid state electronics to design a new material form for light: a cost-effective, de-centralized renewable lighting device. Lightweight, easily rolled or compressed, readily shipped, transported and carried, Portable Light can be deployed at a global scale for education, household health and economic production and community practices.
