Hammour House is an experiential art installation and community project that raises awareness about endangered coral ecosystems by creating a 'reef' using recycled and sustainable materials. Named after the orange-spotted grouper, or hammour fish, local to the Arabian Gulf’s coral, the installation combines student paintings to form vibrant floating panels that mimic local reefs. With contributions from artists, students, fishermen and research institutions, the project also offers publications, workshops and talks during Expo. This project was inspired by the One Thousand and One Nights story of Abdullah the Fisherman and Abdullah the Merman.

A colourful message of conservation and discovery of the aquatic world awaits at the ever-evolving community art project Hammour House. This unique experiential installation raises awareness about endangered coral ecosystems by creating an imaginative, walk-through 'reef' from children’s artwork, ghost nets and recycled plastic that would have ordinarily ended up in landfills.
