  • 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.

White film left
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I know that mineral sunscreen is the best. But this one will leave a white film on you. I have used other sunscreens that work without the white film.

You get Zink, but no “tropical” scent
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great product. I wanted a Zink based sunscreen for my face, but I was hoping it would still have the Sun Bum traditional “tropical” scent. Sadly nope. I’m mixing it with the traditional Sun Bum 30 so I can get my tropical feel while keeping my face safe from sun damage. Hopefully I don’t turn green :)

This product works.Worth the price!
Color: Mayday
My son had the worst sunburn I have ever seen. I looked for products and found this one. It said 3 times the relief. It is expensive it's around 50.00 dollars. I would have paid a hundred dollars to get my son some relief.If it would work. I should add that my son is grown.But his burn was so bad.He couldn't even take his shirt off without it hurting. I applied this product as said a p size shape.My son is a larger young man.He's almost six foot 220lbs.. I applied the product as said got him as comfortable as I could. And went on about my business. I checked back in and a couple of hours, and he said he felt some relief. I talked to him today and he goes mom. I feel a whole lot better. Unfortunately, he did blister, so he will have to go into the doctors. Just to be sure that blisters don't get infected. The relief he felt is worth the price.Anytime.. Just on a side note, I got natural witch, hazel and aloe vera.And when you mix the two together, it is a good compliment to this product to keep the skin moisturized as it's drying out. When I get the olive era product, I will write a review to see if it is good..

Actually does what it says!!!
Color: Mayday
Terns is AMAZING!! I wish I would have found it the day after my burn. I feel asleep on my hammock for 3 hrs and my face turn into a tomato 🍅. Next 3 days just tightness and sore. Then comes the peeling and it was like face dandruff. I search online did my research then found on Amazon and checked out the reviews and pulled the trigger. I have never been happier with a product and it actually does what it says it will and the reviews say. I washed my face first then put it on and it was like ahhhhh. The first 2 days I had to put it on twice a day but my face never once looked like I had put Elmers glue on just to peel off. Then everyday after, just 1 application needed but 2 if you want because my skin was glowing!! I think I might just make this my new face moisturizer. Do yourselves a favor and stop looking just go with this one!
