Cultural figures call for display of ‘noise and light’ in Paris a week after attacks

French artists and cultural figures called for people to mark a week since the start of the Paris attacks with an outpouring of “noise and light” last night.

The call went out on social media under the Twitter hashtag #21h20 — or 9.20pm, the time the attacks began last Friday, November 13.

A letter in the Huffington Post was signed by dozens of artists, writers, musicians, and other cultural figures, including singer Charles Aznavour, journalist Anne Sinclair, and former French culture minister Jack Lang.
