Guided Walk
Living Botanicals
Bhavana Kumar and Kush Sethi
MAP’s sculpture courtyard transforms into a garden with Living Botanicals — a space where plants native to the subcontinent grow, change, and are cared for over time.
Join us for a guided walk led by architect Bhavana Kumar of Kumar La Noce and urban gardener Kush Sethi as they share the process and vision behind this living installation.
