Focusing on practices of care, this conversational event brings together three disciplines in the context of environmental issues and air quality.

Curator Marina Velez, environmental scientist Douglas Crawford-Brown and artist Sarah Strachan will be discussing Sarah’s work 'The Air We Breathe’.

Involving families around the world, this collaborative art work reflects on personal experience of air quality and intergenerational environmental justice, touching upon the idea that our childhood experiences of the environment are hard wired into our ecological thinking and establishes awareness for the rest of our life. The conversation will explore artistic and scientific ways of addressing the same subject and will investigate commonalities in art and science practices of care.
