SUMMARY:Power\, Place & Craft: A Conversation with Meena Kadri + Homelore Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that weaves together storytelling\, craft\, and social innovation as we bring together two exciting initiatives in one.Join us for an evening that weaves together storytelling\, craft\, and social innovation as we bring together two exciting initiatives in one space. This special event features a talk by our Social Innovator in Residence Spring 2025\, Meena Kadri\, alongside the soft opening of Homelore\, a women-led collective exploring diasporic experiences through traditional craft techniques. Meena Kadri\, with a background in anthropology and design\, has worked at the intersection of innovation\, collaboration\, and social change. Her experience spans global human-centered design consultancy IDEO\, community-driven projects in India\, and grassroots initiatives worldwide. Her talk will highlight the role of culture and creativity in fostering community resilience\, touching on themes of power dynamics in public spaces\, savings circles in India\, and community gardens. At the same time\, we celebrate the first exhibition of Homelore\, a project led by Riddhi Varma\, a recent graduate in Masters’ in Management and current DESIS Lab Fellow. Homelore is a women-led collective exploring evolving neocultures shaped by diasporic experiences through traditional craft techniques.Their practice centers on collaboration\, bringing together female artisans from diverse diasporic backgrounds\, creating works that weave together personal narratives\, shared histories\, and the vibrant textures of life in a globalized world. The exhibition probes the alchemy of emergent cultures birthed from the migratory rhythms of diasporas converging in Lisbon\, with embroidery as its silent interlocutor. Through the warp and weft of traditional techniques\, Homelore craft tapestries that map the territories of where the diaspora now dwells based on the ancestral echoes of where they began. These stitched cartographies become artifacts of cultural flux\, fragile yet enduring monuments to the ceaseless metamorphosis of identity. Agenda: Introduction: Anne-Laure Fayard\, Holder of the ERA Chair in Social Innovation\, will introduce Meena Kadri and Homelore.Talk by Meena Kadri on “Collective Culture: Insights on Inclusion”: Insights into her journey from slums to boardrooms\, and the intersection of design\, culture\, and social changeWords from Riddhi Varma: A short introduction to the Homelore exhibition.Informal Gathering & Exhibition Viewing: Stay for a drink\, connect with Meena\, Riddhi and the artists from Homelore (project website here)and explore the artwork.Date & Time: April 10\, 2025Location: Live Content (Edifício 78\, Santos\, R. da Cintura do Porto de Lisboa 6 Armazém i\, 1200-109 Lisboa) A special thank you to Domingos Guimarães\, a very enthusiastic DESIS Lab partner\, for generously offering his space for this big celebration!

She teaches on power and influence\, leadership\, and organizational change. She is the author of two books: Power\, for All: How it Really Works and Why It’s Everyone’s Business (New York: Simon & Schuster\, 2021) and Democratize Work: The Case for Reorganizing the Economy (University of Chicago Press\, 2022\, originally published in French by Le Seuil\, 2020). She has articles published in the Academy of Management Annals\, Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Review\, Harvard Business Review\, Journal of Business Ethics\, Leadership Quarterly Management\, Management Science\, Organization\, Organization Science\, Organization Studies\, Research in Organizational Behavior\, Stanford Social Innovation Review\, and Strategic Organization. Her research has been featured in publications like The Boston Globe\, Forbes\, Huffington Post\, The Guardian\, and The Washington Post.  \n\n\n\nPower for all: \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Julie Battilana\, the Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and the Alan L. Gleitsman Professor of Social Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School\, will discuss the fundamentals of power\, debunk the common myths surrounding it\, and discuss how to harness power for positive impact in our lives and in the world. Through her teaching at HBS and as the Founder and Faculty Chair of the Social Innovation and Change Initiative at HKS\, Professor Battilana has taught and worked closely with hundreds of change makers and leaders in social innovation across multiple sectors over the years. Building on this work and nearly two decades of researching the politics of change in organizations and society\, she will share her insights into what power really is and what it is not\, as well as how to identify your own sources of power. This discussion will help you understand and navigate power in your relationships\, organizations\, and society and see power not as dirty business\, but instead energy that can be used for good.
