Aeropolis - Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds

Aeropolis: Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds by Nerea Calvillo offers a new perspective on air and its impact on our world. By rethinking air as a city, this book challenges dominant modes of world-making that perpetuate exclusion and inequity. Instead, it proposes a methodology of "designing-thinking-making" that connects our understanding of air with ongoing struggles for just futures. Through a series of design interventions, histories of air, and theoretical coordinates, Aeropolis explores the diversity of air and its relation to humans, non-humans, and environments. The book invites readers to become sensible to air by living, breathing, seeing, holding, touching, and queering airs. With contributions from María Puig de la Bellacasa and Timothy K. Choy, this interdisciplinary framework offers a fresh approach to understanding the complex relationships between air, politics, culture, and ecology. By moving beyond solutions and toward a more nuanced understanding of air, Aeropolis Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds provides a valuable resource for designers, citizens, and anyone seeking to rethink their relationship with the air we breathe.
