Highly recommend venturing into the new issue of @venti_journal on Inhale/Exhale and "the many aspects of respiration as an intimate, communal force." It's full of unexpected contributions and beautiful job on the design too. https://t.co/x61dp6c2Mz

Venti asks: how do we become aware of something invisible and of things that are always in the air—such as the air itself?
Investigating this query in a series of issues, each publication deals with a theme that explores the indexical qualities of air and our awareness of it.
"Venti: Air, Experience, and Aesthetics" invokes both the number ‘twenty’ and ‘the winds.’
Conceived in the year 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the BLACK LIVES MATTER protests, "Venti" is a forum for discussions centered on the year’s foregrounding of air.
