Visitors interact with Pollinator Lounge, an art installation was designed and built for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s smallest visitors, insects! Conceived by architects Joyce Hwang and Nerea Feliz, the pollinator habitats were created by their students at the University at Buffalo and the University of Texas at Austin.

As part of Brooklyn Botanic Garden's 2024 program series, Natural Attractions: A Plant-Pollinator Love Story, get an inside look at the Pollinator Lounge with some of the project’s artists. Learn about the design process for the habitat boxes, explore their hidden visual dimensions through UV reflective light, and listen to fictional narratives told from the point of view of bees, butterflies, wasps, flies, and beetles.
Project co-creator Joyce Hwang and fellow University of Buffalo Architecture faculty member Maia Peck will give a brief introduction to the project, followed by mini tours of selected habitats by the UB students who designed and built them.
Free with Garden admission. No registration required.
