The Night Life of Trees is an exquisite silkscreen-printed art book of tree lore from the Gond tribe in central India. Trees are central to the Gond tribal imagination: in addition to the stories that surround them, trees are important in a lived, everyday sense. There is a Gond belief that trees are busy during the day, giving shade and food to humans and animals. It is only during the night that their real spirit emerges. A collection of work by three of the finest living artists of the Gond tribe – traditionally a community of forest dwellers from central India – this quintessential Tara title has gone into several editions and in different languages.

 

Read a blog post by Gita Wolf and Divya Vijayakumar – Tree Covers: The Night Life of Trees Keeps Growing – that explores the journey of our classic handmade title featuring luminous art and stories from Gond folklore. The Night Life of Trees is in its 15th English language edition and still counting…
