HKP Architects Presents Women of Carbon at the Mount Vernon Library Commons for Earth Day
SAVE THE DATE! HKP Architects is honored to present "Women of Carbon," a documentary showcasing women in construction making transformative, sustainable changes in efforts to combat climate change. This innovative work places them at the center of decarbonization, global health initiatives, and economic opportunities. Directed by Basia and Leonard Myszynski, "Women of Carbon" shares the journey and overarching vision these women share in making a better world.
The women portrayed in this documentary are redefining our relationship with carbon in the built environment through repurposing materials, reengineering waste into valuable chemicals that help clean the climate, and driving decarbonization across industries. They share their challenges in life, work, and motherhood all while thriving in a male-dominated work space. The collective wisdom masterfully gathered by the Myszynskis and shared by these women comes together to form a singular belief and purpose to restore, protect, and preserve our planet and our futures.
In the words of featured CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren: “The climate is not going to negotiate with us.”
Join HKP for a screening of this empowering documentary followed by a panel of local women in construction and design (some of whom were featured in the film!) on April 25th, 2025 at the Mount Vernon Library Commons Community Room. Doors open from 5:00p to 8:00p. Free and open to the public; donations will be accepted for the Library Foundation for programs and initiatives regarding climate change. More details to come.
