Sarah Khan is in Barcelona to attend the premiere of the documentary ‘Transnational Narratives: A Documentary Celebrating South Asian Women in Architecture’ by Professor Igea Troiani , Mamuna Iqbal, PhD, Paula Roush and Rime Tsujino at the Fundació Mies van der Rohe (the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Mies Van Der Rohe) tonight, 9th March.
The documentary gives voice to architects of South Asian origin who were educated across India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom: Sumita Singha OBE Hon DSc, chitra vishwanath, Sarah Khan, Fauzia Qureshi, Sajida Vandal and Dr. Neelum Naz. Through the experiences of these six women architects, the film explores professional paths shaped by migration, activism, sustainability, and the struggle for access and recognition in patriarchal contexts.
The session will be introduced by Anna Ramos, director of the Fundació, an introduction by Igea Troiani and Mamuna Iqbal, the screening of the documentary, and a conversation afterwards with the authors and invited guests.
→ The film is the result of the 4th Lilly Reich Grant for Equality in Architecture, an initiative of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe that supports the research and dissemination of contributions to architecture that have been unjustly overlooked, and that promotes equal opportunities in the practice of the profession.
