Here in City Hall, photographer Bruce Myren, painter Joel Janowitz, and the collaborative just practice (Amanda Ugorji and Sophie Weston Chien) consider the urban tree canopy and how the trees among our cities are rooted, living neighbors. They invite us to explore the relationship between our local built space and the trees that inhabit it.
