PUBLIC spaces, agriculture and the wonder of fresh water springs in Bahrain were the focus of examination in a frank discussion of the ‘meaning of green’ at Folk Art Space, Sehla, focusing on a celebrated book on the subject.
Led by Bahraini documentary photographer Mariam Al Arab, the review session delved into a book by renowned Irish landscape architect Dr Gareth Doherty.
“Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State is an ethnography which analyses greenery in Bahrain, written by a Harvard University researcher,” said Ms Al Arab.
