6:39 am

6:42 am
something to be proud of. back in rosenheim on a forges ahead she's on a schedule once this project and the various completed she'll move on to the next construction site in ghana. i want to use architecture to improve living conditions bolster social justice and cultural diversity and preserve this planet for future generations. and with each new design on a comes a step closer to achieving this she may not change the world from one day to the next but even rome wasn't built in a day. at the end of the be a job is a job if i'm able to perform an effective it shouldn't matter where on the agenda i like a. job traditionally performed. with it

6:47 am
eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes along with it is allowed to go on i will eventually lose my belief. because of it gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such a young country to sort things out she push for one remains optimistic. in a traditional society like india gender equality is a complex composition art is possibly one of the weakest to start this conversation
6:48 am
. uses comics and graphic narratives to do just that let's meet this visual artist to see how she's using her art to break some barriers in indian society. i think we and we need to ask those often stop ourselves show on jeannine speak in vain fearless in imagining what we can mean this is your due for court decisions that need to be had and not being essentially this. agent o'grady examining. social structure. says working with art allows her to best expresses ideas and her perspective on life. she's inspired by feminist leaders and people's movements this is reflected in her drawings and the issues on which she's chosen to focus. in the
6:49 am
early twenty's either was captivated but something entirely new what she called the magic of bringing text and images together to create powerful narratives like this book on an eco feminist who led a movement against a foreign station in india that in many of you were sitting in part of the story is that you did a lot i don't want the previews for this shit stain or you know of it when i wanted to be a conversation. and that's why if a guy even to do me good comics and graphic magazines. engages with women from marginalized communities she's traveled to remote regions to there she saw the transformative potential of art. before sanity said no no it was the have who kind of. inspired he sang
6:50 am
for the whole family off the ministers in their communities to see if they can see it live there we be one. over there to see you know you need to you can experience for your ideas are your dreams are just to do that is a 4 stage is really really important to feel to be able to have that chance to form and think this through e.c. that we can together look at what it means to think of ourselves is as obscene markets as people who are defying our edited these laws to either was drawn to a mass movement led by been in delhi. the shaheen bank sit in protest at a major public highway was against the government citizenship amendment act critics said the legislation was discriminatory against muslims. it was absolutely unbelievable to be on
6:51 am
a public high replugging that space of course but having really speaks so strong be up honesty yes and so clearly about who are democratic they are and what citizenship meet the only reference i could express what they're hearing through enjoying everything come back to my studio and me close to sports stuff both in hindi and english even sports isn't drawings on this peaceful protests have now been compiled into a book. a powerful graphic narrative of women at the forefront of a mass movement. at the scene can we see what the government of the state is ringback doing to young women who speak out and of choice to say so we've given these new kind of context to women being at the forefront of people's movements and steve that state of catching in one big big anything is and it is a moment that i would think we conceive meek or believe is what we want and.
6:52 am
like to eat or we met another you know reader in germany god only embark feel strongly about protecting the environment and about the need for equality in patriarchal societies around the world her solution she created an eco friendly and sustainable game to tackle a lot of these in one go let's take a look. forms of the faster card games are simply a means of expressing gender justice and diversity to show that no matter whether you're a black woman or a gay man you can reach any position you want. on paper all people are supposed to be equal but that's not yet the case in reality. i promise.
6:53 am
i want to illustrate that we can change small things now every day lots of things that determine our behavior and way of thinking and so we can bring topics like racism equality to the kitchen table you can play with your grandparents you can play with your parents or with your uncle around for example and side playfully see how society can be shaped. images shape us we grow up with pictures we constantly see images in books in the media in advertising that attribute roles that show what women and men are meant to look like and they are need to picked men and women the gender binary for example that's why it's so important to change visual language and if kids of color play
6:54 am
with these cards and can recognize themselves for example or if i play with them and i can see a queen that means i can also reach the top position. a subclass i believe acquire she is an issue everywhere especially justice in the climate debate there's a big discussion about privilege about her makes decisions who's involved in that is. in making process for example a great many women are affected by climate change that's hard about society yet many decisions are only made by men and by a very small portion of society. and a problem for one person in particular namely miriam a person wearing a headscarf here in germany we didn't want to depict any religion actually and we did a workshop with her and she told us about her experience of discrimination and she
6:55 am
was a person where we noticed we needed to have a woman with a headscarf here in the deck and there was no way around it even when we were trying to avoid depicting religion yes she was definitely a person who gave us quite a loss. and . i constantly ask myself whether it's worth it it's a lot of effort a big time investment but every time someone comes up to maine says that school or an affected person told me what i'm doing is important and then i know why i do it and that's wonderful. god gave you and any of the change makers we introduced you to be may not put an end to play. on next month or next year but with the smallest of actions we're inching closer to an equal what
