SUMMARY:“The Quest for the Plant Script” with Sumana Roy
DESCRIPTION:\nWhy have our writers\, artists\, thinkers and scholars bee
n compelled to turn their attention towards the ‘plant script’ in the la
st one hundred years? Beginning from Jagadish Chandra Bose’s ‘torulipi’
– literally the plant script\, through which he hoped plants would write
their autobiography – and moving through Rabindranath Tagore’s songs ab
out the ‘language of flowers’ to poets writing about the syntax of the f
alling of leaves to artists trying to coax a vocabulary out of plants or
creating a ‘tree alphabet’\, I shall speak about the quest for the plan
t script\, its codes\, its compulsions\, and its intimate histories.\n\n
