About Breathe

Breathe is a multi-site public artwork, produced by art-science organisation Invisible Dust, to raise public awareness and drive public and political support for clean air action.

The work, which features clean air activists ‘fighting for breath’ has taken over hundreds of bridges, buildings and billboards next to traffic-choked streets across London, the UK and Lahore, Pakistan, and has been viewed by over 14 million people to date.

As Breathe tours to each new city, it connects up a diverse and growing network of clean air activists, a worldwide ‘collective’ of individuals who each endeavour, with urgency and resistance, to bring about local transformation. Their actions contribute incrementally to confronting the global air pollution emergency and the need for radical and lasting change.

We continue to pursue opportunities to tour and grow the work to new cities in the coming year. Get in touch if you are interested in collaborating: lucy@invisibledust.com and be sure to join the Invisible Dust mailing list.
