Event details

Since 2017, the AIR (Action for Interdisciplinary Air Pollution Research) Network has brought together researchers and people who live and work in informal settlements to discuss the issue, raise awareness and explore new approaches to tackle air quality. The Network used a mixture of methods to discuss, explore and engage with the issue of air pollution, including theatre, visual arts, games, story-telling and music. This free exhibition charts the project’s development and successes, featuring photography, community art, and mapping. This event is hosted by the Centre for Global Health Histories.
