Dreamy Place and videoclub are supporting In Between Time to present We Are Warriors – a captivating light and sound installation – in the Cab Road tunnel beneath Brighton Railway Station for Brighton Festival 2026.
We Are Warriors is an immersive sound and light installation, described by audiences as ‘a wonderground’. ‘Awe-inspiring’, ‘utterly raw’ and ‘heartbreakingly beautiful’, this subterranean constellation of women’s, girls’, trans and non-binary voices carves collective remembrance, resistance and care from the shadows. Reclaiming a city’s darkest spaces, We Are Warriors ignites neglected sites with hundreds of flickering lights, each placed in tribute to someone who has been lost or silenced.
Upon arrival, you will be invited to take part by creating and placing a light of your own to honour a silenced voice, joining a global chorus. The installation transforms dark spaces into sanctuaries, inviting audiences to push the dark away.
We Are Warriors consists of hundreds of LED lights and a 25-minute soundscape. We suggest allowing 20-30 minutes to enjoy the installation, but you are welcome to stay for as long as you like. The Cab Road can be cold and has an uneven floor surface; please wear warm clothes and comfortable footwear.
