Native: Plants in the UAE exhibition explores the life conditions of each plant indigenous to the UAE’s landscape, looking at the surrounding atmosphere that affects its growth and gives it its unique variations of colour, texture, size and behaviour.
From the iconic Ghaf tree to the resilient desert grasses, each specimen holds a story of adaptation and survival told through a curated collection of art installations and informative exhibits that shed light on the ecological significance of these plants and trees.
Native: Plants in the UAE promises an enriching experience that will resonate with nature enthusiasts, researchers, artists, and curious minds alike. It’s a discovery of life that thrives beneath the desert sun and an exploration of an extraordinary green world of the UAE. The exhibition is curated by Sumayya Al Suwaidi and assistant curators Aysha Al Aseeri and Huda Marzooq.
