PLEIN AIR 4 

The research and design studio series "Plein Air," launched in 2020 and in its 4th iteration, explores the air as a socio-political and spatial medium, investigating atmosphere and breath's political and spatial ecologies and their entanglement with environmental injustice and racism, bio/necropolitics, (neo-) coloniality and beyond. The studio is structured as mini theses, with diverse sites, programs, and formats of investigation and proposals.
