How have gender identity and equity been related to climate among your past generations, how is it now and how do you think or wish it will be for the future ones?

We gather to collectively reflect on this and, learning from holistic approaches, we focus on transformative linkages and regenerative futures, rather than temporal and unsustainable.

The workshop will start with inputs on ways of thinking about gender and climate future in mainstream and alternative streams of science.

A collective practice will follow, where we are asked to think of situations in the past, present and, possibly, in the future. We will decompose and gather them breaking the relation to time, and highlighting places, territories, themes, and problematics.

We are going to end the workshop by doing a Collage of Transformative Future together. Feel free to bring old magazines, or your favourite collage material!

Part I, May 17: Vienna participatory-mapping workshop

What? Vienna participatory-mapping workshop of gender & climate change experiences
Where? SOHO Studios, Liebknechtgasse 32, 1160 Wien
When? May 17 14:00 - 18:00 h
Who? Science Meets Art x a bunch of people from different walks of life

Who is most vulnerable to climate change?
How does it affect the place I live in?
What possibilities exist, in our city, to respond to the climate crisis?
What does any of this have to do with gender—and why should it matter?

If you’ve been asking yourself questions like these, or if you’re curious to explore the gendered dimensions of climate change while reflecting on your city and your own experiences, join us for an afternoon of dialogue and creative engagement—grounded in science, lived experience, and collective imagination.

This interactive workshop explores the intersection of climate change and gender through collective reflection, scientific input, and participatory-mapping. Participants will begin with a sharing circle to build connection and solidarity, followed by science insights on how gender and climate intersect, grounded in concepts like situated knowledge and intersectionality. Through a participatory-mapping exercise, we will collaboratively explore how different experiences shape our understanding of the place we live in, at the intersection between climate and gender justice.
