Focusing on the Hawksbill turtle, the only sea turtle that nests on Qatar’s shores, the exhibition traced her journey from sand to sea, while highlighting the richness of Qatar’s coastal biodiversity and the vital connection between its shoreline and marine ecosystems.

Through immersive and interactive experiences, Lehmesa explored the evolutionary journey, physiology, and habitats of sea turtles in Qatar while raising awareness about the environmental challenges they face. The exhibition aimed to inspire all generations to take part in protecting Qatar’s marine life and fostering a more sustainable future.

In-kind collaborations with Qatar University (QU) and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC).
