Presented in dialogue with KNMA’s ongoing exhibition Inheritors of Earth, The Forest and the Self is a live music performance by poet, singer, and writer Vipul Rikhi.

Through the poetry of Kabir, Meera, and Dharamdas, alongside a song by poet and writer Dhruv Bhatt, the performance explores our relationship with nature through music and verse.

From forests, trees, birds, and rivers to reflections on love, surrender, and the interconnectedness of life, these songs invite us to look at the natural world, and our place within it, differently.

Spend an evening with music and poetry that bring us closer to the many forms of life we share this world with.
