Lamps designed by the artist Ursula Langwieler were set up at Klagenfurt Airport. These are intended to send a signal for peace and at the same time act as a silent protest against the war in Ukraine.
“An airport is a place where people arrive and depart. They do so voluntarily, unlike in Ukraine, where people are forced to leave their native towns and villages. I have been designing lamps artistically for a long time. The "Lamps for Peace" project has never let me go, and our airport in Klagenfurt was the ideal place to implement the campaign," says the artist, who was born in Hamburg and lives in Carinthia. Together with her husband and friends, she also organizes medical aid for Ukraine.
“Klagenfurt Airport is very happy to support this unique peace project. We must not tire of demanding a peaceful solution for Ukraine. Ursula Langwieler shows with a lot of heart and commitment that each and every one of us can make a contribution," says Nils Witt, Managing Director of Klagenfurt Airport. Some of Ursula Langwieler's lamps will be on display in the terminal building at Klagenfurt Airport for the next few weeks.
