We can't wait for you to see Mona Chalabi’s The Gray-Green Divide. Join Mona during the opening weekend on May 21 at 2 pm, as she hosts a conversation about her outdoor installation, which explores environmental justice and climate change through data patterns linking income, trees, and heat across Brooklyn.
The program begins with an outdoor artist talk on the plaza steps and continues with an exploratory walk through the neighborhood led by Antonia Estela Pérez—artist, herbalist and co-founder of Herban Cura.
Tickets are $25 ($20 for Members) and include general admission to the Museum. For access needs, please email [email protected].

Mona Chalabi’s “The Gray-Green Divide”—Brooklyn Museum’s current #ArtOnTheStoop installation—highlights the 100 most common species of trees found on New York City’s streets with original drawings of their unique leaves, fruits, and flowers, along with their overall shapes and colors.
According to the most recent survey conducted by @nycparks, the Platanus x acerifolia—or London planetree—is the most plentiful species in the city making up 13% of the approximately 666,000 trees on the streets. In addition to its distinctive flaking bark, this species is known for its resilience especially in urban environments. The Quercus palustris—commonly known as the Pin oak—represents 8% of the trees making it the most plentiful species native to the New York City region.
There are a few tickets left to attend the Art Talk and Nature Walk with Mona Chalabi and Antonia Estela!

With the weather getting warmer, the impact of uneven tree distribution on New York City’s streets become apparent yet again.
In connection with the newest #ArtOnTheStoop, Mona Chalabi created these two maps of Brooklyn highlighting the connection between temperature and trees based on data from the US Geological Survey’s Landsat 8 satellite published by the New York City Council, and a census of street trees in New York City conducted by volunteers working with NYC Parks.
You may notice from Chalabi’s work that greater concentrations of trees can be found in wealthier neighborhoods and that “greenery keeps the wealthier neighborhoods cooler in summer.” This data has serious health implications for those living in less tree-dense areas who are subject to higher air conditioning-related costs as well as increased risk for heatstroke and even death. “Doesn’t everyone deserve a little green shade, regardless of their race or income?”

Situated at the nexus of the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park, Mona Chalabi’s installation celebrates the biodiversity of our borough, inspiring passersby to see and appreciate trees through a more critical framework. Here she is on the stoop during a recent visit to the Museum.
Our friends at Jiggy Puzzles helped turn Mona’s beautiful illustrations into a special 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. Get yours at the #BkMShop in-person or online.

Nothing beats New York in the fall. Even with today being the Autumn Equinox and temperatures cooling down, on our stoop you’ll feel less heat than you would just ten blocks east or west because the surrounding trees are lowering the temperature.
We spoke with Mona Chalabi about her ambitions for “The Gray-Green Divide” and transforming data from NYC Parks and Recreation into colorful, illustrative visualizations that engage us in confronting truths about inequities in our borough and about who has access to green space.
Visit Mona Chalabi: The Gray-Green Divide through the fall.

As one 5-year-old visitor put it, “Trees are helpers.” 🌳

Through playful illustrations of New York City’s one hundred most common trees, based on data from NYC Parks, Mona motivates us to reflect on the hard truths about the inequities of our borough’s green spaces, laying bare the links among incomes, trees, and heat.
