Pollinator Lounge is part of “Natural Attractions: A Plant-Pollinator Love Story,” a Brooklyn Botanic Garden exhibition that celebrates plant-pollinator connections, June-October 2024.
The installation is designed by Double Happiness (Joyce Hwang and Nerea Feliz), inspired by their Multispecies Lounge installation in Toronto, commissioned by the Bentway Conservancy in 2023. The 43 habitat boxes are designed and fabricated by ARI310 first year students at the University of Texas at Austin and sophomore students at University at Buffalo, which were part of their Spring 2024 studio projects.
