EXHIBITION FEEDBACK
“It made me think a lot about how much more can be done with and learnt from plants than I was aware of. Everyday objects can be seen in different ways and suddenly our planet looks alien again.”
- Samhitha Kottamasu, visitor on PHYTOPIA
“This exhibition got me thinking about how I can bring more science into my artistic pursuits.”
- Liza David, visitor on PHYTOPIA
“The vast diversity in the type of exhibits reflecting diversity in nature and the plant world itself. As an ecologist and an artist, it was an extremely engaging session.”
- Sambita Modak, visitor on PHYTOPIA
“It was the first time that I attended a digital exhibition. This was a great experience. Came to know about artists using the basic starch iodine test for art. This was totally amazing”
- Samuel Bency, visitor on PHYTOPIA
