Ecologies of Care gathering 2025, Porto

Workshop How can we visualize Air?

Inês Moreira hosted the 2025 Ecologies of Care network gathering in Porto, during which the RefineryBoard collective organized a one-day workshop around “questions of air”. The workshop proposed a collective exploration of atmospheric and environmental issues related to air, addressing both its sensory and political dimensions. The activity was preceded by a morning run along the coastline in front of the refinery, creating an experiential context for the discussion.

Methodology:
– Coastal run (sensory and geographical experience)
– Presentation of the “Air Questions Menu”
– Open and dynamic group discussion based on the proposed questions
