Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we are acutely aware that digital exhibitions cannot replicate the shared experiences, personal touch and deeper engagement that a physical exhibition allows. To compensate for this, we organised digital mediation sessions which helped visitors explore the exhibition through the guidance of trained mediators. Mediators took the visitors through various exhibits, offering insightful conversations about how artists and researchers interpret the hidden depths of plant life. Visitors from around the world could explore the exhibition, bringing their own unique insights and observations.

Visitor Feedback

Here is what some of our visitors had to say -

“The most memorable experience was when the mediator mentioned how little we know about the life around us. We are seeking alien life in space, but most life on earth is still alien to us.”
- Navilan, visitor

“The exhibit ‘Arboreal’ was something completely different from what I had imagined it to be and our mediator walked us through the exhibit very skilfully.”
- Sumithra Surendralal, visitor

“I loved the energy and involvement of the mediator. Felt like he was part of the art production process.”
- Kush Sethi, facilitator and visitor
