Parvinder Marwaha
Parvinder Marwaha works in cultural and climate advocacy and creative programming, exploring core systems of gender, faith and race. At the British Council, she specialises in developing arts programmes across the UK, Europe and South Asia to promote cultural exchange. Her projects include ‘Gender Ecologies’, a cross-artform programme exploring the intersection of women and climate in Bangladesh and Pakistan; ‘Circular Cultures’ promoting sustainable practices across Europe; and ‘Our Shared Cultural Heritage’ – a youth-led programme exploring shared UK-South Asia histories in museums in Manchester and Glasgow. Her personal practice explores arts, culture and food – in her project ‘chai breaker’ she uses chai (tea) as a catalyst to collaborate with artists and designers to explore topics from colonialism and casteism to gender equality.
