Jameel Arts Centre presents Desert is a Forest by Sunoj D and Namrata Neog, an artist garden.
The garden, as envisioned at the Jameel Arts Centre, in a way translates the idea of how to “think like a forest”, exploring the biodiversity within the UAE landscape, and the interconnectedness of the goat, the human, the plant and the natural mineral deposits that form in the desert. A garden of complex entanglements, Desert is a Forest examines the politics of food, domestication, relationships between humans and non-humans, and the way we see and interpret the environment, while also telling the unique history of the UAE’s plant ecology and nutritional habits.
