From Dust to Dust ~ by BIC

December 18, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Situated on the hot and dry north Indian plains, the city of Delhi has always lived with dust. But in the last three decades, dust has transformed into a problem: air pollution.

In the world’s most polluted capital city, debates about dust rise and subside like seasonal storms, never quite becoming a public priority. Why? Despite its severe impacts on health, why does air pollution become yet another element in a deteriorating urban environment to be borne and lived with, rather than a public emergency that calls for urgent and drastic action?

This talk will address these questions by situating them within the cultural politics of environment and development.

This session is part of the Let’s Talk Climate Change Talk series.
