Air is a commons – and at the same time increasingly polluted. This discussion centers on the concept of the commons and asks how we can defend and care for air as a shared public good. What political, social, and spatial dynamics shape our handling of polluted air? How can air be imagined as a collective space beyond individual appropriation and territorial borders? The panel brings together artistic, activist, and architectural perspectives to negotiate care, justice, and resistance in our relationship with air.
