The unfortunate reality is that Mumbai city trees have to hustle, the same way that all of us have to hustle,” says Sananda Mukhopadhyaya, a theatre maker and arts-based educator. 

In the coming week, to support the ongoing exhibit—Cartographies of the Unseen by Reena Saini Kallat—at Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, there’s a lot of tree talk. The first is an online session, Wood Wide Web, on March 26 and 27, which will take attendees beneath the forest floor and into the intricate communication system that trees share. The second is a Tree Trail on March 29, hosted by Mukhopadhyaya, and it is one of the many tree walks she has hosted in the city. From Kala Ghoda and Byculla to Bandra, Mukhopadhyaya conducts tree walks around the city to make people more aware of the trees they share the land with and develop an admiration for them.
