SUMMARY:Invisible Work\, Visible Heat
DESCRIPTION:Extreme heat is pictured as an outdoor problem – a construction site\, a crowded street. But turn a thermal camera on a home\, and the story changes. In Making the ‘Invisible’ Visible\, an audio-visual feature that uses thermal imaging to reveal how tin roofs\, concrete buildings\, cramped kitchens\, and poor ventilation trap heat inside the homes – turning everyday chores into hours of endurance. Here women describe living through it: sleepless nights\, nosebleeds\, wetting clothes and sitting by an open fridge to cool down. Following the screening\, Sonali is joined by journalist Shreya to talk about what’s driving this heat\, why it stays invisible\, and what could actually change it. \nSonali Verma leads communications at the Sustainable Futures Collaborative\, a climate and environmental policy research organisation. She was a journalist at Hindustan Times and The Wire. She co-created this project\, and it has been shown at Godrej’s Conscious Collective\, Mumbai Climate Week\, the India Heat Summit\, and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Bengaluru. \nShreya Raman is an independent journalist and writes on gender\, labour\, health\, and climate for Behanbox\, IndiaSpend\, Foreign Policy\, and Scroll\, among others. She has won the Laadli Media Award for Gender Sensitivity and the Likho Award for Excellence in Media. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Can Sustainability Be for Everyone?
DESCRIPTION:We have the technology to build a cleaner future. But can everyone afford to be part of it? For millions\, the barriers to clean energy and electric mobility are the everyday realities of cost\, credit\, and access. \nThis conversation looks at what happens when sustainability is designed around people: when solar energy can be leased instead of bought\, when an electric vehicle can become a livelihood without a large upfront investment\, and when clean energy can help a gig worker keep more of what they earn. \nFrom solar-powered homes to electric mobility\, from Goa to Mizoram\, we explore how new models of financing can make sustainability more inclusive and how environmental action can go hand in hand with stronger livelihoods and greater economic independence.  \nA conversation about building a future that doesn’t just work for the planet\, but works for people too. With Jupp Schmitt\, CFO\, Enervoir\, and Ashish Malayil\, CEO\, Livaah. \nFree Entry | RSVP compulsory \nPlease WhatsApp your name to +91 7722089666

SUMMARY:Still there are Seeds to be Gathered\, and Room in the Bag of Stars

The recipient\, the holder\, the story. The bag of stars.’ \nMilann Tress John is a writer-director and cinematographer whose body of work explores the themes of transgender rights\, ethnomusicology\, Indian craft processes\, indigenous folk art practices\, and river ecosystems across India.
