Protect The Human is major new initiative 'to get a million more people standing up for human rights in the UK' by 2010. During the weekend, AV rental company Mushroom Event Services supplied dramatic lighting for the new building, with a total of 60 2K Fresnels illuminating 30 windows across three floors. Each light was individually controlled and dimmed, giving a wide variety of colour and brightness at any window at any given time.
Protect The Human was written across the façade in 25Watt lamps hung from the roof with steel rope which were flashed either individually, or as a group. Both the event and the building itself are of great significance to the organization. "This is the world's first human rights action centre," said Amnesty International's Lisle Turner. "Mushroom showed it off in a dynamic and exciting way and, on top of that, they provided a friendly, prompt and helpful service. Amnesty International depends on support from suppliers like Mushroom to make our major projects work and we're very grateful. We were very happy with everything they did for us."
