Singing Oneness, Singing Kabir

What can the songs of mystic poets reveal about our relationship with the natural world? Led by poet, singer and writer Vipul Rikhi, this workshop explores the poetry of Kabir, the Bhakti and Sufi mystic poet, who drew on nature to express ideas of love, belonging, and the interconnectedness of life. Through verses that evoke trees, flowers, birds, and rivers, participants consider how the natural world offers ways of understanding our connection with one another and our surroundings.

Presented alongside KNMA’s ongoing exhibition Inheritors of Earth, the workshop brings together poetry, music, and reflection. Participants will engage with Kabir’s songs, explore their meanings, and learn to sing one composition. Through this shared singing experience, they will discover how these medieval verses offer ways of thinking about coexistence, humility, and our shared space within the living world.
