(How) does air matter to us? What are the main concerns of community groups, researchers and theorists when they think about air?
“Air Space: Creating a Community-Integrated Network of Interdisciplinary Research on Socio-Atmospherics” is a one year, exploratory study funded by The University of Manchester Research Institute (UMRI) concerned with: air’s role in health and welfare inequality; the political and contested nature of air and how it is used, polluted, measured and changed; the spatial politics of air as a part of urban environments and shared living spaces; and the social functions and meanings of air as part of home, community and everyday life.
The exhibition displays the orginal sketches of project participants from community groups Ardwick Climate Action, Love Old Trafford, Manchester Climate Alliance and the Friends of Sackville Gardens. Alongside their orginal sketches, the exhibition includes sketches created by illustrator Domenique Brouwers inspired by data from interviews, focus groups and sketching workshops
