Gender Ecologies, a programme exploring the intersections of gender, climate, sustainability, and heritage through community and built environments was held in the UK, from 21-26 May 2022 with the collaboration of the British Council, Heritage Foundation Pakistan, INTBAU, and BRAC University. The program brought together a group of female students from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the UK to build two low-tech, low-carbon structures on Granary Square, King’s Cross which highlighted the central role of women in the climate revolution. The installations coincided with the British Council’s Pakistan-UK Season, which celebrates the important links between the two countries. A Pakistani chulah, an earthen cooker, was built by Pakistani artisans and students, alongside other engaging activities. The builds were complemented by an interactive programme of panel discussions, live music, poetry, and food.
