  • In the months that preceded the global spread of COVID-19, a series of airborne events transformed the atmosphere of the Indo-Pacific region; the bushfire smoke on the East coast of Australia, the tear gas used in the Santiago de Chile and Hong Kong protests, the Indian Supreme Court ruling on Delhi’s pollution failures, and activists covering iconic statues with respirators across Johannesburg and Pretoria. All these incidents map the political struggles taking place in the region’s air, triggering a proliferation of masked faces avant la lettre
  • The publication Folk Costumes, Indo-Pacific Air is an account of the region’s masked state. It brings together culturally and geographically diverse case studies exploring air’s effects on the body to describe the emergent wearable architectures it produces
  • Considered as folk costumes, these wearables are socio-technical constructions that mediate our relationship with the environment—they negotiate our daily struggles, emancipatory efforts, and emotional inner-lives
  • Discussing air as a political matter, the book collects contributions by scientists, writers, historians, architects, photographers, and dilettantes, encouraging readers to fly freely between visual and conceptual affinities to create a map of a region in the making
  • Edited by Urtzi Grau and Guillermo Fernández-Abascal with contributions by Dean Cross, Hamish McIntosh, Peter McNeil, Hélène Frichot, La Escuela Nunca y Otros Futuros, Lidia Morawska, Juan Elvira, Matthew Connors, Ricarda Bigolin, Peter Irga and Fraser Torpy, Sharbendu

Urtzi Grau is an architect, director of the Master of Architecture and the Master of Research at University of Technology Sydney, and founding partner of the office Fake Industries Architectural Agonism. Guillermo Fernández-Abascal is an architect, lecturer at UTS Sydney, and co-director of GFA2. Based in Sydney, Australia and Santander, Spain, his recent work destabilises the dichotomy of research vs. buildings and includes diagrams, stories, exhibitions, films, prototypes, housing, and public buildings across the globe.

Do not buy
Cheap, but tastes bad. I guess it worked but I tossed a big bottle of it and got the higher price Spring Valley 10 kg melatonin which works well. The taste is great (strawberry) and highly chewable.

not happy it said gummies that why l bought them
this product said that they were gummy’s but they’re actually chewable tablets. I can’t eat tablets. I’m very disappointed that it said gummy. That’s the only reason why I bought it.

Not as effective
I don't find the chewable as effective as the ones that dissolve. These don't seem to give me the same relaxing quality.
