Below the Canopy

In many South Asian villages, banyan trees are considered sacred places for communities to meet, learn, and discuss. Below the Canopy is a lecture & discussion series that brings this tradition of learning together into a modern age. 

​

The series features presentations by academics from across the US sharing their work on topics related to South Asian art, history, culture, and current events, in a way that is accessible and enjoyable for artists, enthusiasts, and the generally curious.
