Songs of Day and Night unfolds in the form of a tree. Angela Carter and Pradip Krishen remind us that in fables/fairy tales, trees come to life, with faces that speak, walk, and fight noble battles. The enchantment of the forest appears here in the visual and oral narratives of Chamba Rumal, Chikankari, and Gond art-the bespoke legacy arts of India. This brings to focus the deep-rooted connections between trees and the communities from which these arts originated.
