Tehran Monoxide: A Project by Negar Farajiani

This book revisits and reviews Tehran Monoxide, an ongoing project initiated in 2010 by artist and curator Negar Farajiani. The project has enjoyed an expansive scope: from setting up an arts exhibition at a school to engaging with people in a downtown pharmacy; from learning about the effects of house plants on air pollution to peddling plants on the street and making up a tree-garden of exhaust pipes in a treeless garden; and from teaching schoolchildren to being taught by them, Negar chronicles her ten-year project of starting with a simple question on air pollution in Tehran to accommodating green corners in classrooms and much tighter spots.
