The air over there is a project concerned with the air we breathe. Our ability to draw breath is instinctual, yet subject to conditions that define the limits of our aspiration.  Bad air kills like no air chokes. In the same month, Ella Kissi Debrah began complaining of breathing difficulties, Jimmy Mbenga was shouting for breath as he was restrained to death on a deportation flight. They were breathless at borders that ultimately defined their lives. Variances in air quality across the urban landscape begin to suggest a parallel geography of environmental injustice inflicted on marginalised and racialised groups. This map shows the air quality in Tower Hamlets, which for the past 12 years has been allocated as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA), where national air quality targets are unlikely to be met. It is one of the most deprived boroughs in London, where two-thirds of people belong to a minority ethnic group. Following Ella Kissi-Debrah’s certification of “death by pollution’”, how can we create new wayfinding techniques to navigate the condition of bad air? The project explores the overlapping of emotional, legal and scientific landscapes as they intersect with the built environment of Tower Hamlets and the communities that animate it. By mapping a wide array of documents - from passion-invoking advocacy to the report of abstract numerical data devoided of personalisation - the media output wants to support those who exist in the darkest shades of the The Indices of Deprivation,¹ and campaigning to end the racialised distribution of pollutants in London and beyond.
