La noche es buena!
​
'La noche es buena!' (Night is good!) is a program that analyzes in a creative, artistic and experimental way the 'yes' and 'how' urban spaces usually neglected or abandoned after sunset can become lively and attractive places at night.
Using day and night observations in several areas of the city of Bogotá Nocturno explores potentials within their typologies and thereupon develops a cycle of temporary activities to articulate them in the urban space at night.
Intervention
City night walks
​
As part of the local interventions that address concepts of culture, identity and heritage, Nocturno and ARCUPA organize night walks with emphasis on environmental qualities and a sensory perception of different parts of the city. It aims to improve the citizens' relation with their area and thus make them act as guardians of the same.
The activity, directed to local actors and other specific groups, furthermore seeks to recognize the work of the inhabitants in the circulation space and thus generate a better cohabitation among the actors of the neighbourhood.
Night Market
​
Within the program, 'La noche es buena!' (Night is good!) and following our focus of investigation on how light can foster social and economic dynamics by expanding them towards nighttime hours, Nocturno together with the 'Mercado Agroecologico Campesino' and the Impact Hub are going to realize nighttime markets in different sites starting from 2018.

Laboratories, Workshops, Conferences
​
Light is a material and at the same time immaterial. Therefore laboratories, workshops amd conferences are an important tool to sensitise students, academics, public and private entities, constructors, arquitects to the effects of light on urban environment, natural surroundings, humans, flora and fauna.
Applied research and investigative art are ways of receiving reliable and contextualized information to specific aspects.
​
Nocturno develops short-term and long-term nocturnal interventions to
- discover relationships and interactions in real and everyday social structures
- validate and reinforce the basic research and
- sensitizing the community in a participatory way towards light
- activate public spaces at night
