Gender dynamics and equality at workplace and professions is an imperative issue which is now taken seriously by the society as well as the professional industries. The significance of understanding and bridging the difference between the genders in terms of either professional opportunities or pay scales, has now been acknowledged.
To address this issue various awareness campaigns are being organized by some prestigious organizations. One of such coming up event is ‘Mind the Gap’.
This event is produced by Dysco, a professional networking app, website and community, in collaboration with MIXX – a platform that addresses gender issues through a curated range of products and experiences in association with event partners VITAMIN STREE (Content Partner) and WeWork (community partner).
Mind the Gap draws together an eclectic and exciting group of personalities to explore the physical, intellectual and digital manifestations of gender dynamics within professions and workplaces. The event will create awareness on one of the most compelling issues of our generation, in a manner that is both wildly appealing and wonderfully engaging – a real celebration of progressive minds and impassioned hearts.
Among a series of curated panels across different industries, this day-long event will have a panel discussion on gender within Art & Culture as well as photography installations by Shreya Dev Dube, Indrajeet Rajkhowa (his series Ice Hockey in the Himalayas was picked up by VICE India), Riddhi Parekh (who will be showing her series Women Metro Drivers) and Roshini Kumar as well as a video art piece – Boys of Safdarjung by stylist and creative director Nikhil D and videographer Tsungdue Phunkhang.
