The Midnight Run celebrates the simplicity of engaging with new individuals and environments, whilst integrating artistic activations that are inclusive and participatory. The MNR slows everything right down to walking and talking. To date, there have been MNR events in London, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Florence & Auckland.</p> <p><b>The MNR & Local Artists</b></p> <p>For each event, The Midnight Run invites at least 5 local Artists because they are the life and soul of cities! They have other ways of seeing the world, know their own areas, and The MNR works by collaboration: Artists help plan the route, document the event (e.g. filmmakers, photographers, illustrators) and set creative tasks and challenges for the MNRunners.</p> <hr/> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150514225239/https://light2015blogdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/inua-ellams.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1339 size-thumbnail alignright" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150514225239im_/https://light2015blogdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/inua-ellams.jpg?w=150&h=150" alt="Inua Ellams" width="150" height="150"/></a>Inua Ellams </strong>(top) is the MNR Founder, Artistic Director & Facilitator.</p> <p><strong>Elena Mazzoni Wagner </strong>(middle) is the MNR European Coordinator & CCT-SeeCity Founder.</p> <p><strong>Belinda Boakye </strong>(bottom) is MNR Communication Manager.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150514225239/https://light2015blogdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/elena-mazzoni-wagner.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1340" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150514225239im_/https://light2015blogdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/elena-mazzoni-wagner.jpg?w=150&h=150" alt="Elena Mazzoni Wagner" width="150" height="150"/></a>Founded in 2009 by Elena Mazzoni Wagner, CCT-SeeCity is “The Guidezine about Seeties, Places & People” and an award-winning Cultural Association from Italy; it’s an ever-expanding community that shares Cultures, Curiosities and Creativity.
